I am using the aws-sdk in Node.js to generate a presigned putObject upload url for use with DigitalOcean Spaces. The url gets generated just fine, however when I try putting to it using a REST client, I get a SignatureDoesNotMatch error. Below is the code I am using to generate the presigned url (from within a Google Cloud Function):
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
AWS.config.loadFromPath('./credentials.json');
var s3 = new AWS.S3({params: {Bucket: 'bucket-name'}});
exports.requestUploadUrl = function requestUploadUrl(req, res) {
var key = 'some-predefined-key';
s3.getSignedUrl('putObject', {Bucket: 'bucket-name', Key: key}, function (err, url) {
res.send(url);
});
}
I am getting this sort of response when I try posting to the presigned url:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Error>
<Code>SignatureDoesNotMatch</Code>
<RequestId>tx000000000000000664ed3-0059eeef91-3777b-nyc3a</RequestId>
<HostId>3777b-nyc3a-nyc</HostId>
</Error>

So the reason this wasn’t working is the content type MUST be specified when generating the presigned URL and specified once again by the client when it connects, and they must exactly match. Once I specified application/octet-stream
everything worked
Its sad that AWS give wrong examples in its documentation. When i first tried python example even the signing key creation method was faulty. For your problem i would suggest you replicate their Requests even use same AccessKeyId and secretacesskey as given in examples. Then compare the signature and payload hash. If it doesn’t match than start debugging. 2- I think aws multipart request doesn’t work with presigned urls with REST. Either you have to use AWS SDK or use Authorization Header.
