I am trying to access files uploaded to my Spaces bucket. They are private and associated with my users account. I authenticate on my server and was hoping to redirect to a URL where they can see the file.
I have this working with a pre-signed getObject URL. However, I would really prefer to gain the benefits of serving my files from the CDN. Here is what I am doing successfully now:
AWS.config.update({
accessKeyId: KEY,
secretAccessKey: SECRET,
region: 'nyc3',
signatureVersion: 'v4',
});
const options = {
signatureVersion: 'v4',
region: 'nyc3',
endpoint: new AWS.Endpoint('nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com'),
};
const client = new AWS.S3(options);
const url = client.getSignedUrl('getObject', {
Bucket: 'myBucket',
Key: 'theObjectKey',
Expires: 5 * 60, // 5 minutes
});
res.redirect(url);
This provides me with a URL like:
https://myBucket.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/THE_OBJECT_KEY?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=CREDENTIAL&X-Amz-Date=20200418T164223Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=SIGNATURE&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host
This works well.
Is there any possible way to do this, but using my Spaces CDN? It appears that AWS’ Cloudfront has a completely different lib for signing CF objects (seen here: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/creating-amazon-cloudfront-signed-urls-in-node-js/).
Any help is much appreciated. Happy to answer any questions.

You can use a pre-signed URL with the CDN as shown in the following documentation
Please let me know if this helps you out.
Assuming that you have already enabled your CDN, have you tried using the same URL that getSignedUrl returns, but with the domain changed to point to the CDN?
E.g., instead of:
https://myBucket.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/THE_OBJECT_KEY?X-Amz-Algorithm=...
Try:
https://myBucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/THE_OBJECT_KEY?X-Amz-Algorithm=...
