S3 problem: missing Content-Length HTTP header

[Andrew Stewart]

Hello,

I am able to upload files successfully using file system storage but I
cannot get S3 storage to work. The logs show these messages:

warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session
New RightAws::S3Interface using single-threaded mode
Opening new HTTPS connection to s3.amazonaws.com:443
##### RightAws::S3Interface returned an error: 411 Length Required

RightAws::AwsError (MissingContentLength: You must provide the Content-
Length HTTP header.):
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/right_aws-1.10.0/lib/awsbase/
right_awsbase.rb:359:in `request_info_impl'

right_s3.rb:102:in `bucket'
/vendor/plugins/paperclip/lib/paperclip/storage.rb:164:in
`s3_bucket'
[etc]

And here is my model:

class Talk < ActiveRecord::Base
has_attached_file :notes,
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/
amazon.yml",
:path => "talks/:id/notes/:filename"
end

I have two questions. First and foremost, how can I get this
working? Second, why is RightAws opening an HTTPS connection instead
of an HTTP connection?

My Paperclip is up to date (installed yesterday). I am using the
right_aws gem v1.10.0 and the right_http_connection gem v1.2.4. Rails
2.2.2.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks and regards,

You don't seem to have an S3 bucket defined (or is that defined in the
amazon.yml?). That could be confusing RightAWS.

Is it a problem that it's opening an HTTPS connection?

Thanks for the reply. The bucket is defined in my amazon.yml:

CREDENTIALS: &CREDENTIALS
access_key_id: ...
secret_access_key: ...

development:
bucket: st_andrews/development
<<: *CREDENTIALS

test:
bucket: st_andrews/test
<<: *CREDENTIALS

production:
bucket: st_andrews/production
<<: *CREDENTIALS

No, it's not a problem. It surprised me though and I thought it might
be a symptom of whatever's preventing this from working.

It seems S3 requires the Content-Length header on various operations,
such as bucket creation, and right_aws v1.10.0 doesn't implement this.

Happily Dilshod fixed this in November last year so I grabbed his
change, made a gem, and replaced RightScale's v1.10.0 with mine.
Everything now works.
