Create nice directory listings for s3 buckets using only javascript and HTML.
Inspiration from http://aws.amazon.com/code/Amazon-S3/1713
Copy the index.html into the s3 bucket where you want the listing (you can also put the index.html on any website).
Note: for s3 buckets which are in website mode you must take some additional steps, see below.
By default, the script will attempt to guess the bucket based on the url you
are trying to access. However, you can configure it to point at any s3 bucket
by setting the BUCKET_URL javascript variable, e.g.:
var BUCKET_URL = 'http://data.openspending.org.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com';
For S3 buckets configured in website mode the standard approach will not work because a GET request on the bucket root returns the site index page rather than the object listing in JSON form.
Thus, you have to set the BUCKET_URL variable to be the S3 bucket endpoint
which differs from the website S3 bucket endpoint. For more details see:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/WebsiteEndpoints.html#WebsiteRestEndpointDiff
A specific example for the EU west region:
- Website endpoint: http://example-bucket.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/
- S3 bucket endpoint (for RESTful calls): http://example-bucket.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/
Note that US east region is different in that the S3 bucket endpoint does not include a location spec but the website version does:
- Website endpoint: http://example-bucket.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
- S3 bucket endpoint (for RESTful calls): http://example-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/
