Problem
AWS SigV4 signing requires headers to be lexicographically ordered by name. The current implementation uses
strcmp
on the full header, leading to incorrect ordering when header names have identical prefixes.I found two scenarios where curl users could be affected:
x-amz-meta-
).x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key
andx-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key-md5
headers.Example of the issue:
This results in
x-amz-meta-test-two
incorrectly precedingx-amz-meta-test
in the canonical request, causing S3 to return aSignatureDoesNotMatch
error.Fix
This PR resolves the issue by:
strncmp
with the length of the shorter header name for comparison for the canonical request (actual request headers are left in the specified order).The fix has been verified with a few real S3 requests, along with the added libcurl test.
