i-pva/signed-url

Go package for creating signed URL

Create signed URLs

This package can create URLs by adding an expiration date and a signature to the URL. Signed URLs are especially useful for routes that are publicly accessible yet need a layer of protection against URL manipulation.

Installation

go get github.com/i-pva/signed-url

Example

package main

import (
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "net/url"
    
    surl "github.com/i-pva/signed-url"
)

func main(){

	surl.SetSecretKey([]byte("your-secret-key"))  //rewrite secret key


	u := &url.URL{
		Scheme: "https",
		Host:   "example.com",
		Path:   "path",
	}

	//URL Signing

	signedUrl , err := surl.Sign(u)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}

	log.Println(signedUrl.String()) // https://example.com/path?signature=XXX
	

	// URL Validating

	if surl.HasValidURL(&http.Request{URL: u}) {
		log.Println("URL is valid")
		// do something
	}

}

URLs Signing with a limited lifetime

signedUrl , err := url.SignTemporary(u, 1 * time.Hour) // will be valid for 1 hour
if err != nil {
     return err
}

log.Println(signedUrl.String()) // https://example.com/path?expires=XXX&signature=XXX

URLs Validating with handler

mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    w.Write([]byte("route under signed url"))
})
 
handler := surl.Handler(mux) // handler for validating signed URLs
http.ListenAndServe(":", handler)
