Recently I used amazon s3 to build a application.But I found a problem that s3 bucket name could not contain (.) among labels when I used hosted-style request over ssl to download files through browser.For example, a bucket name is 'test.bucket', which contains (.).But it accurs that browser has invalid certificert when I download files using url https://test.bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/filename, the same as posting file to s3 bucket.
After searching the documents, I found the last words in the following url:
BucketRestriction
Additionally, if you want to access a bucket by using a virtual hosted-style request, for example, http://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com over SSL, the bucket name cannot include a period (.).
So, I really want to know whether the bucket name could not include a period (.) such as "a.b", "test.bucket" or "abcd.fdf.fdf" exactly.
You can use periods (now) in your S3 bucket names when using SSL. You just have to use the Path Style format. Full explanation here. Path style looks like this:
https://s3.amazon.aws.com/your.bucket.name

I'm trying to upload some files to my bucket on S3 through boto3 on Python.
These files name are websites addresses (for example www.google.com/gmail).
I want the file name to be the website address, but in fact it creates a folder with name "www.google.com" and inside the uploaded file with name "gmail"
I tried to solve it with double slash and backslash before the trailing slash, but it didn't work.
Is there any way to ignore the trailing slash and upload a file that its name is a website address?
Thanks.
You are misunderstanding S3 - it does not actually have a "folder" structure. Every object in a bucket has a unique key, and the object is accessed via that key.
Some S3 utilities (including to be fair the AWS console) fake up a "folder" structure, but this isn't too relevant to how S3 works.
Or in other words, don't worry about it. Just create the object with / in its key and everything will work as you expect.
S3 has a flat structure with no folders. The "folders" you are seeing are a feature in the AWS Console to make it easier to navigate through your objects. The console will group objects in a "folder" based on the prefix before the slash (if there is one).
There's nothing that prevents you from using slashes in S3 object keys. When you use the API via boto, you can refer to the full URL and you should get the object.
See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/using-folders.html
I have one website, which is deployed on AWS instance and we have Akamai CDN. We are storing data in S3. We have few modules which do not require any processing from the web server and that can be directly served because those are pure static files say (RSS). Is there any way to load some links directly from Akamai to S3 without requesting the origin server?
For example, http://www.example.com/rss/1000.rss, can this /rss/* directly be configured in Akamai luna to load it from relevant S3 URL?
We tried sitefailover but it does not support the non property URLs Host names.
Create a new rule in Property Manager.
Add a match criteria, for /rss/*.
Add an Origin Server behavior.
Notes:
Set the Forward Host Header to Origin Hostname.
Set the Origin Server Hostname to a hostname that maps to your S3 bucket (replace yourbucket).
Make sure the files in the S3 bucket are publicly readable (public-read ACL).
I have S3 bucket called "mybucket". Files from there are available under following links:
mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/path/to/file.jpg
s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/path/to/file.jpg
I need custom domain for files served from s3. I added DNS CNAME record pointing to from images.example.com to s3.amazonaws.com (also tried images.example.com -> mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com).
In both cases when I try to GET images.example.com/mybucket/path/to/file/jpg (or images.example.com/path/to/file.jpg) I get S3 error like
Bucket 'images.example.com' does not exist
Is there any workaround for this or I have to change bucket name to images.example.com?
You need to change the bucket name. The virtual hosting docs specifically say (in the "Customizing Amazon S3 URLs with CNAMEs" section)
The bucket name must be the same as the CNAME
I'm currently attempting to use Amazon S3 for static hosting for a domain with the word bucket in the URL. One of the requirements for static hosting is that the bucket is named after the domain, so I had success setting up bucketdomain.com (not the actual domain) but unfortunatley I am unable to setup www.bucketdomain.com as S3 returns the following error when creating the S3 bucket:
The requested bucket name is not available. The bucket namespace is
shared by all users of the system. Please select a different name and
try again.
Does anyone know a way round this issue?
S3 buckets are a global namespace, and so it's very possible that someone else took the same bucket before you could get it. It's also possible that due to internal replication delays or other such issues, a previously-deleted bucket is not yet available for re-use.
It appears the bucket name you are using is not unique enough.
I am using amazon S3 to host one of my static sites and wanted to link it to my domain name (domainname.co.uk). So I went into namecheap account-all host records and did something like this,
However, It still doesnt work and throws 404 when I go the website url. By the way, under the "www" option, I am using my S3 url like this, conxxxxxxxxxxx.co.uk.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com..
Notice the dot in the end, which is automatically added by Namecheap whenever I try to save, even without the dot. I am not sure if that's causing the issue but it just doesn't work for me.
Going directly to my AWS URL works fine, which implies that something is wrong with my CNAME setup.
Anyone know what am doing wrong here? Namecheap support had absolutely no clue either.
You can only use custom CNAMEs for Amazon S3 if the bucket name matches the CNAME.
For example, if your bucket is named:
files.example.com
and is therefore accessible by default at:
files.example.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com.
A CNAME from files.example.com to the full bucket domain name will allow you to use your custom domain.
However, if your bucket name is not exactly the same as the CNAME you are trying to define, it will not work. In your screenshot, you are trying to use www.... as your CNAME, but the (redacted) bucket name does not contain www.. Note that "exactly" includes case-sensitivity; your bucket name must be all lowercase for a CNAME to work.
The full documentation of this feature is here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/VirtualHosting.html#VirtualHostingCustomURLs
If you want/need multiple CNAMEs, and/or a CNAME that does not match the bucket name, Amazon CloudFront allows you to specify arbitrary CNAMEs for a deployment.
Its been a while since this questions was asked , but if anyone looking for NameCheap CNAME setup for static website in amazon AWS s3 bucket then please refer screenshot below.
This setup for AWS S3 bucket hosting + NameCheap DNS record is working for me as of Jul 2019.
This setup is for pointing AWS S3 static website endpoint to your custom domain in NameCheap.
Please note if you are using AWS CloudFront SSL certificate then your CNAME record value will be the CloudFront domain name ( not the static website endpoint).
