Class Method Details

.canonical_string(path) ⇒ Object

Builds the canonical string for signing. This strips out all ‘&’, ‘?’, and ‘=’ from the query string to be signed.

Note:  The parameters in the path passed in must already be sorted in
case-insensitive alphabetical order and must not be url encoded.

def EC2.canonical_string(path)
  buf = ""
  path.split('&').each { |field|
    buf << field.gsub(/\&|\?/,"").sub(/=/,"")
  }
  return buf
end

.encode(secret_access_key, str, urlencode = true) ⇒ Object

Encodes the given string with the secret_access_key, by taking the hmac-sha1 sum, and then base64 encoding it. Optionally, it will also url encode the result of that to protect the string if it’s going to be used as a query string parameter.
