I'm trying to upload an image to s3 using the ruby aws sdk. I'm able to upload the base64 string if I don't set the content_type. If I do set the content_type to image/png the upload is just the generic image thumbnail.
obj = #<Aws::S3::Object bucket_name="mybucket", key="test">
>> params[:file]
>> "data:image/png;base64,iVB...."
obj.put(body: params[:file], content_type: 'image/png', content_encoding: 'base64')
How can I upload a Base64 string to s3? I'm also open to uploading as bytes if that's more straight forward
I managed to get it to work with put, instead of upload_file. put makes more sense, since you are trying to upload an image encoded as a base64 data uri string.
Assuming your data uri string looks like:
string = 'data:image/jpeg;base64,<base_64_string>'
The key is to decode the <base_64_string> part and send it to body in the put method:
body = Base64.decode64(string.split(',')[1])
s3 = Aws::S3::Resource.new
s3.bucket(ENV['AWS_BUCKET_NAME']).object(key).put(body: body, acl: 'public-read', content_type: 'image/jpeg', content_encoding: 'base64')
This assumes you are using the the AWS Ruby library at https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-ruby
I managed to solve this using the following code
file = params[:file]
s3 = Aws::S3::Resource.new
obj = s3.bucket('my_bucket').object("my_path").upload_file(file.tempfile)

I recently developed a program that allows you to connect to Twitter and do some tasks automatically (like Tweeter, Liking) using only the account information: username;password;email_or_phone.
My problem is that I am now trying to add the functionality of Tweeting with an image but I can't.
Here is my code and my error:
async def tweet_success(self, msg: str, img_path: str):
# Get the number of bytes of the image
img_bytes = str(os.path.getsize(img_path))
# Get the media_id to add an image to my tweet
params = {'command': 'INIT','total_bytes': img_bytes,'media_type': 'image/png','media_category': 'tweet_image'}
response = requests.post('https://upload.twitter.com/i/media/upload.json', params=params, headers=self.get_headers())
media_id = response.text.split('{"media_id":')[1].split(',')[0]
params = {'command': 'APPEND','media_id': media_id,'segment_index': '0',}
# Try to get the raw binary of the image, My problem is here
data = open(img_path, "rb").read()
response = requests.post('https://upload.twitter.com/i/media/upload.json', params=params, headers=self.get_headers(), data=data,)
{"request":"\/i\/media\/upload.json","error":"media parameter is missing."}
Can someone help me ?
I tried
data = open(img_path, "rb").read()
data = f'------WebKitFormBoundaryaf0mMLIS7kpsKwPv\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="media"; filename="blob"\r\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n{data}\r\n------WebKitFormBoundaryaf0mMLIS7kpsKwPv--\r\n'
data = open(img_path, "rb").read()

Does AWS apigateway change http body? How can I stop it from doing this?
My application:
(1) A front end "UI" that sends a "http request" using "POST method" that contains a "zip file" in "body" through "form-data".
(2) AWS "apigateway" receives this request and forward it to "Lambda Proxy"
(3) AWS "Lambda" implemented by python coding receives this request and decompresses this zip file to a temporary folder.
The problem I'm facing:
(1) and (2) works fine, but in (3) the pythong program at lambda failed to decompress the file.
My finding:
It seems that when sending from the "UI" the body contains the binary data of the zip file
like below:
"PK\x03\x04\n\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xd6;TO\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x06\x00\x00\x00x2.txtPK\x03\x04\n\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xd6;TO\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x06\x00\x00\x00x1.txtPK\x01\x02\x14\x00\n\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xd6;TO\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x06\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00
\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00x2.txtPK\x01\x02\x14\x00\n\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xd6;TO\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x06\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00
\x00\x00\x00$\x00\x00\x00x1.txtPK\x05\x06\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x02\x00h\x00\x00\x00H\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"
But at (3) the python code at lambda, if we just simply returns the response like below:
response = {
"statusCode": 200,
"headers": {
"lambda-response": str(event["body"])
},
"body": "",
"isBase64Encoded": False
}
return response
will find that the binary data in the body,
seems like apigateway has changed the content
from:

Below is a response from AWS support. LGTM. Leave it here so that people can see the solution to this issue in the future.
=====================Below is the response from AWS support ==================
Hi,
Thank you for contacting AWS Premium Support. I am Jyoti, and I will assist you with this case today.
From the case correspondence, I understand that you are concerned that API Gateway modifies
the binary data payload before proxying to your Lambda function. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Expected Behaviour:
API gateway does modify the binary data payload into UTF-8 encoded JSON strings if
the API is configured at its default settings. Hence this is an expected behaviour.
Kindly note, as per [1], we must configure the API to support binary payloads for
our API in API Gateway. API Gateway can not send binary as is, since it has to send
a JSON body to the lambda proxy. Hence, it encodes the data/payload in UTF-8 by default.
Solution:
In order to overcome the aforementioned challenge, we need to add the desired
binary media types (application/zip in this case) to the binaryMediaTypes list
on the RestApi resource's settings page. For further information on how to achieve
this, please refer here --> [2]. If this property is not defined, the payloads
are handled as UTF-8 encoded JSON strings as mentioned in [1].
This is why the file in your request looks UTF-8 encoded. After configuring the API,
the event received by the Lambda would be a Base64-encoded string.
If you want to conduct operations on this object (the encoded request body or 'event["body"]'),
then you may decode the base64-encoded string to its orginal binary form by following
the below lines (in case of python runtime) :
import base64
coded_string = str(event["body"])
base64.b64decode(coded_string)
Troubleshooting:
I tried to replicate your setup in my environment. Instead of the frontend 'UI' of the application,
I used Postman as a client, while the rest of the setup (API Gateway and Lambda) are similar.
I am making a POST request to my API from Postman, with the request headers 'Content-Type' and 'Accept',
both set to the value 'application/zip', which is the binary media type that is being sent and
also being expected in the response. My API has been configured to support binary media types being
passed in the request body. I have added 'application/zip' in the binaryMediaTypes list for the API.
Finally, in the Lambda function I am decoding the base64-encoded request body (i.e. event["body"])
to its original binary form by using the base64 library (in python).
If you still want to confirm the consistency of your request's form-data out by returning the binary
data in your response, you can refer to the following snippet:
response {
'isBase64Encoded': True, #Ensure the body is base encoded
'statusCode': 200,
'headers': { "Content-Type": "applicaiton/zip" }, #Define the Content-Type
'body': event["body"] #Response Body returns the Base64-encoded value
}
We set the isBase64Encoded parameter to True and API Gateway automatically decodes the
response body depending on the Content-Type (i.e. the binary data/media type) that the
client (in my case Postman), is set to receive (i.e. application/zip). Kindly note, the 'Accept'
header that I had sent in my header, is to validate that the response body contains the binary
data type, the request was made for.
The above response body was the same as the request body binary data that was first sent
through the API, in my setup.
Hope I have addressed your concerns. However, if you still need help with the implementation,
please contact us again and I will be happy to assist you.

2019/12/20 update
I realize that my content type is actually multipart instead of application/zip so I modified again the setting then it worked.
Below is the help from AWS support. Many thanks to their help.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for elaborating your application flow and the logs. I understand now that your HTTP Request header 'content-type' is set to 'multipart/form-data'. I agree that for a web form to upload a file it is quite common to set content type as form-data and AWS API Gateway does support it. You would like to know if you could prevent UTF-8 encoding without changing the front end code. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
For the ease of discussion, I would like to separate the approach of troubleshooting for the HTTP request and response.
For the request to the API:
Please add 'multipart/form-data' as one of the values in the binaryMediaType list in your "API settings page in the API Gateway console. You would not have to alter your code or HTTP request or any of it's headers. Kindly note to handle binary media/data in API Gateway, the HTTP Request Content-Type header must match the values in binaryMediaType list.
In your use case, if you want to send the binary media back in a response for your request, the HTTP Request 'Content-Type' and 'Accept' headers, the binaryMediaType value of the API and the HTTP Response 'Content-Type' must all be set to 'multipart/form-data'. I tried the above and it worked for me with Postman Client. The 'boundary' directive is set up by Postman automatically if the HTTP Request 'Content-Type' is set to 'multipart/form-data'. Hence, you would have to only add 'multipart/form-data' in the 'binaryMediaType' list. Please have a look at my HTTP request, below:
POST /stg-with-logs HTTP/1.1
Host: <some-api-id>.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Accept: multipart/form-data
Cache-Control: no-cache
Postman-Token: 123b64f9-5669-f794-b9df-34a7561e9708
------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="File"; filename="archive.zip"
Content-Type: application/zip
------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--
For the response from the API:
I noticed while going through your API Gateway Logs, the header 'isBase64Encoded' was not set. Kindly set that to true. API Gateway automatically decodes any base64-encoded string in the body of your HTTP response, if 'isBase64Encoded' is set to true. Please have a look at the HTTP Response from my lambda below:
(a6729f56-b245-45a4-9ac4-7e00b23c8957) Endpoint response body before transformations:

Along with this correspondence I am attaching my API Gateway Swagger file and Lambda function code for your reference. The setup worked fine for me and I was able to return the binary payload upon making an HTTP Request. If you want to test it out in your environment, please set the appropriate credentials and lambda uri in the Swagger file.
Hope this addresses your concern. However, if the issue still persists or you have any further questions, please contact us again and I will be happy to assist you.

I checked the whole azure-storage-blob gem and didn't find any way to get the URI for a blob. Is there some way to construct it correctly and in a generic way that will work for any other blob in any region?
I used S3 SDK before and I'm well grounded in S3 but new to Azure.
There is a protected method called blob_uri that looks like this:
def blob_uri(container_name, blob_name, query = {}, options = {})
if container_name.nil? || container_name.empty?
path = blob_name
else
path = ::File.join(container_name, blob_name)
end
options = { encode: true }.merge(options)
generate_uri(path, query, options)
end
So you could take the short cut of:
blob_client = Azure::Storage::Blob::BlobService.create(storage_account_name: 'XXX' , storage_access_key: 'XXX')
blob_client.send(:blob_uri, container_name,blob_name)
However, the actual URI is simply:
https://[storage_account_name].blob.core.windows.net/container/[container[s]]/[blob file name]
So since you have to know the blob name and the container to access to blob.
File.join(blob_client.host,container,blob_name)
Is the URI to the blob
I am using aws-sdk-ruby for deleting a file saved in a bucket in my amazon s3 account, but i can't figure out why i am able to delete the desired file from S3 bucket using the following code.

the square brackets,
that the object's key doesn't include the domain and
instead of creating an instance of Aws::S3::Resource create an instance of AWS::S3
If you use API version 3 (aws-sdk-s3 (1.81.1)) you should do something like below:
s3 = Aws::S3::Client.new
s3.delete_object(bucket: 'bucket_name', key: 'bucket_folder/file.txt')
it should be:
objs = bucket.objects('https://s3.amazonaws.com/some-bucket/38ac8226-fa72-4aee-8c3d-a34a1db77b91/some_image.jpg')
objs.each {|obj| obj.delete}
With the aws-sdk v2: I had to do this: (see Doc)
$s3.bucket("my-bucket").objects(prefix: 'my_folder/').batch_delete!
(delete is deprecated in favor of batch_delete)

Is it possible to rename a file name before user right-click's + save as with Carrierwave + S3 + Heroku + Content-Disposition? I'm thinking of sanitizing file names (e.g. 193712391231.flv) before the file is saved on the S3 server and saving the original file name in a column in the db.
When a user decides to download the file (right-click and save as). I can't serve / send it as 193712391231.flv. Instead, I would like to send the file with its original file name.
How can this be implemented?
Using Carrierwave. I've come across this:
uploaded = Video.first.attachment
uploader.retrieve_from_store!(File.basename(Video.first.attachment.url))
uploader.cache_stored_file!
send_file uploader.file.path
This wont be served by S3, because it first caches the file in the local filesystem and then sends it to the browser. Which takes up a whole web process (Dyno in Heroku).
If anyone has any ideas, please suggest.
Akshully, you can:
# minimal example,
# here using mongoid, but it doesn't really matter
class Media
field :filename, type: String # i.e. "cute-puppy"
field :extension, type: String # i.e. "mp4"
mount_uploader :media, MediaUploader
end
class MediaUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
# Files on S3 are only accessible via signed URLS:
#fog_public = false
# Signed URLS expire after ...:
#fog_authenticated_url_expiration = 2.hours # in seconds from now, (default is 10.minutes)
# MIME-Type and filename that the user will see:
def fog_attributes
{
"Content-Disposition" => "attachment; filename*=UTF-8''#{model.filename}",
"Content-Type" => MIME::Types.type_for(model.extension).first.content_type
}
end
# ...
end
The url that model.media.url yields will then return the following headers:
Accept-Ranges:bytes
Content-Disposition:attachment; filename*=UTF-8''yourfilename.mp4
Content-Length:3926746
Content-Type:video/mpeg
Date:Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:09:14 GMT
Last-Modified:Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:53:50 GMT
Server:AmazonS3
...
The browser will then force a download (instead of opening in browser) and use the filename you set, regardless of the file name use used to store stuff in the bucket. The only drawback of this is that the Content-Disposition header is set when Carrierwave creates the file, so you couldn't for example use different filenames on the same file for different users.
In that case you could use RightAWS to generate the signed URL:
class Media
def to_url
s3_key = "" # the 'path' to the file in the S3 bucket
request_header = {}
response_header = {
"response-content-disposition" => "attachment; filename*=UTF-8''#{filename_with_extension}",
"response-content-type" => MIME::Types.type_for(extension).first.content_type
}
RightAws::S3Generator.new(
Settings.aws.key,
Settings.aws.secret,
:port => 80,
:protocol => 'http').
bucket(Settings.aws.bucket).
get(s3_key, 2.hours, request_header, response_header)
end
end
EDIT: It is not necessary to use RightAWS, uploader#url supports overriding response headers, the syntax is just a bit confusing (as is everything with CarrierWave, imho, but it's still awesome):
Media.last.media.url(query: {"response-content-disposition" => "attachment; filename*=UTF-8''huhuhuhuhu"})
# results in:
# => https://yourbucket.s3.amazonaws.com/media/512f292be75ab5a46f000001/yourfile.mp4?response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27huhuhuhuhu&AWSAccessKeyId=key&Signature=signature%3D&Expires=1362055338
If you're sending the file to the user direct from S3 you've no option. If you route the file through a dyno you can call it what you want, but you're using a dyno for the entire duration of the download.
I would store the files in a user friendly manner where possible and use folders to organise them.
