Hello, I’m need a little help with getting all the headers setup so I can get to using Spaces.
I’m doing all of this in Go and I have a few questions.
What would I set the SignedHeaders to, I see in the api docs it has it set to host;x-amz-acl;x-amz-content-sha256;x-amz-date but I’m not familiar and now sure if that changes depending on what you’re doing or not.
My next question has to do with the Signature, again not 100% on the terminology used and would like a little help getting that going. So if anyone could help me out, that would be great.
Here is the code I currently have:
func SetAuthHeaders(accessKey, yymmdd, region string, req *http.Request) {
credentials := fmt.Sprintf("%v/%v/%v/s3/aws4_request", accessKey, yymmdd, region)
signedHeaders := "host;x-amz-acl;x-amz-content-sha256;x-amz-date"
signature := fmt.Sprintf("")
req.Header.Add("Authorization", "AWS4-HMAC-SHA256")
req.Header.Add("Credential", credentials)
req.Header.Add("SignedHeaders", signedHeaders)
req.Header.Add("Signature", signature)
}
Thanks

Hey Matt! Spaces was designed to be API compatible with AWS’s S3 API. One trade off with this approach is that the AWS signature formats can be a bit complicated. Though the main reason we went that direct was to allow people to use pre-existing tools. So, I’d encourage you to use one of the existing libraries for working S3-compatible APIs like minio-go or AWS’ Go SDK.
Here’s a quick example using minio-go:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"github.com/minio/minio-go"
)
func main() {
accessKey := os.Getenv("DO_ACCESS_KEY")
secKey := os.Getenv("DO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY")
ssl := true
// Initiate a client using DigitalOcean Spaces.
client, err := minio.New("nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com", accessKey, secKey, ssl)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Create a new Space.
err = client.MakeBucket("my-new-space", "nyc3")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// List all Spaces.
spaces, err := client.ListBuckets()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, space := range spaces {
fmt.Println(space.Name)
}
}
