httpie-aws-auth

AWS / Amazon S3 auth plugin for HTTPie.

Installation

$ pip install --upgrade httpie-aws-auth

You should now see aws under --auth-type / -A in $ http --help output.

Usage

Credentials on the CLI

The syntax and behavior is the same as with the basic auth.

Specify both access key ID and secret

http --auth-type aws -a ACCESSKEYXXX:AWSSECRETKEYXXX http://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/test

Specify only the key

There'll be a password prompt:

$ http -A aws -a ACCESSKEYXXX http://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/test
http: password for ACCESSKEYXXX@bucket.s3.amazonaws.com: <enter aws secret key>

Auth via the AWS_* environment variables

The names are identical to what AWS CLI and other tools use, so you might be already good to go.

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=ACCESSKEYXXX
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=AWSSECRETKEYXXX

http -A aws http://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/test
