README.md

generate a signed URL for AWS S3 Bucket Objects by calling this script the following way:

python s3-generate-signed-url.py "us-west-1" "my-bucket" "index.html"

The output will look something like this:

Region: us-west-1
Bucket: my-bucket
File: index.html

https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-bucket/index.html?Signature=RpC...%3D&Expires=1510312662&AWSAccessKeyId=AKI...CLA

print "File: " + sys.argv[3]

s3connection = boto.s3.connect_to_region(sys.argv[1], is_secure=True, calling_format=boto.s3.connection.OrdinaryCallingFormat())

bucket = s3connection.get_bucket(sys.argv[2])

key = bucket.get_key(sys.argv[3])

print key.generate_url(3600)
