Unsigned request option

Open wjordan opened this issue 8 years ago • 9 comments

The AWS CLI has a --no-sign-request option which I've found useful for anonymously downloading S3 objects with public-read ACLs, and I'd like to see a similar feature added to the Ruby SDK.

Although it's currently possible to pass an S3 object's #public_url to open or another Ruby HTTP client, I'd like to be able to leverage the AWS SDK's existing functionality for optimized downloading, file integrity verification and network-error retries, but without requiring credentials to be provided when not necessary.

This is something I've been considering adding to the SDK recently. I'm still considering what the mechanism would be to allow for unauthenticated requests.

Hey @mullermp, is this still in the feature backlog?

Yes, but it's not prioritized. I think that there is a workaround however. The Clients support an undocumented unsigned_operations key. I can't guarantee the backwards compatibility for it going forward (like in a new major version), but you can do something like this:

Aws::S3::Client.new(unsigned_operations: [:get_object]).get_object(bucket: 'bucket', key: 'test')

In the future we are trying to do pluggable signers, and in a case like this, it would be an AnonymousSigner object but that is a long term goal.
