[jira] [Commented] (LIBCLOUD-608) Amazon EC2 methods don't work with 'POST'

["Tomaz Muraus (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-608?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14112154#comment-14112154 ] 

Tomaz Muraus commented on LIBCLOUD-608:
---------------------------------------

I remember noticing this at the beginning of this year when I was working on the Amazon driver.

It has been a while since then, but IIRC, there were some issue when using POST in the signature string (aka documentation is wrong) so I have intentionally haven't fixed / changed it.

I will have a look again when I have more time and if that is still the case, I will add a comment to the code which clarifies that.

In any case, the authentication still appears to be working correctly (unless something has changed in the last day), so that's a low priority issue since it doesn't affect end users. If it wouldn't, more users should have noticed that by now.

> When creating the signature for EC2 api requests, it is always built as if the request is done using GET.
> The word 'GET' is hardcoded in the method that builds the signature.
> file : common/aws.py    line : 171
> and in the AWS documentation, it says you need to use 'POST' or 'GET' depending on which method you use.
> http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-2.html
> (This happens in version 0.15.1)
