That's not an AWS signing error – that's a connection error. Nothing to do with aws4

[musmanalibaloch]

@mhart it works for all other services, and also the important thing to mention, it works in postman, but it does not work with aws4, I should have mentioned this early, sorry for that.

Can you show me the code you're using?

[musmanalibaloch]

I am away from system, I will paste my code here tomorrow morning.

[musmanalibaloch]

This is my code.

    try {
        const service = argv.service || 'ec2';
        const action = argv.action || 'DescribeSubnets';
        if (argv.access_key && argv.secret_key && (argv.service || service) && (argv.action || action) && (argv.region) && argv.version) {
            let opts = (argv.service === 'iam'
                ? { host: `${argv.service || service}.amazonaws.com`, path: `/?Action=${argv.action || action}&Version=${argv.version}` }
                : { host: `${argv.service || service}.${argv.region}.amazonaws.com`, path: `/?Action=${argv.action || action}&Version=${argv.version}` }
            )

          const res = await request(
                aws4.sign(opts,
                    {
                        accessKeyId: argv.access_key,
                        secretAccessKey: argv.secret_key
                    })
            )
            process.send({ data: res, status: true });
        } else {
            process.send({
                status: false
            })
        }
    } catch (error) {
        process.send({
            status: false
        })
    }


}

Works fine for me using the code from this repository's README:

const https = require('https')
const aws4 = require('aws4')

const opts = { service: 'iam', path: '/?Action=GetCredentialReport&Version=2010-05-08' }

https.request(aws4.sign(opts), res => res.pipe(process.stdout)).end()

Must be an issue with one of the libraries you're using. (You sure you're using https?)

Let me try and get back to you, thanks for the help @mhart.
