S3DirectUploadDemo

Demo application for the gem s3_direct_upload.

Works under IE6+ !

Getting Started

Edit config/initializers/s3_direct_upload.rb with your S3 credentials.

S3DirectUpload.config do |c|
  c.access_key_id 		= "your_access_key"
  c.secret_access_key 	= "your_secret_key"
  c.bucket 				= "your_bucket_name"
  c.region 				= "your_region"
end

Run:

bundle
bundle exec rake db:migrate

Then start the server:

rails s

Go to http://localhost:3000 and try to upload a new image. If everything went well, you should see the image on the page automatically. You can watch network requests using the deverlopper tools of your browser.

Known Issues

I had to edit s3_direct_upload gem because my S3 link was something like:

http://my_bucket_name.s3.amazonaws.com

The gem try to hit:

http://my_region.amazonaws.com/my_bucket_name

Here is the gem code before:

def url
  "http#{@options[:ssl] ? 's' : ''}://#{@options[:region]}.amazonaws.com/#{@options[:bucket]}/"
end

Here is the gem code after:

def url
  "http#{@options[:ssl] ? 's' : ''}://#{@options[:bucket]}.s3.amazonaws.com/"
end    

I don't know very much about S3, so this might not be an issue at all for you.
