}
DESCRIPTION
POE::Component::Amazon::S3 is an asynchronous Amazon S3 client based loosely on Net::Amazon::S3.
Amazon provides an "infinite" Simple Storage Service (S3) where you may store as much data as you like, paying only for the bandwidth and disk space used. An S3 account may contain up to 100 "buckets", each of which may contain any number of keys. Each key can contain any data up to 5GB in size.
To find out more about S3, please visit: http://s3.amazonaws.com/
CONSTRUCTOR / DESTRUCTOR
spawn
spawn
takes the following named parameters:
- alias => $alias
-
Optional. Sets the alias to which you can post events. This defaults to 's3' if not specified.
- aws_access_key_id => $amazon_s3_id
-
Required. Enter your Amazon ID which you receive after signing up for an S3 account.
- aws_secret_access_key => $amazon_access_key
-
Required. Enter your Amazon access key.
- secure => 1
-
Optional. If you'd like to communicate with S3 using SSL, set
secure
to 1. By default all communication is done over HTTP. Enabling this option requires the module POE::Component::SSLify.
shutdown
Shuts down the component and all subcomponents.
ACCEPTED EVENTS
All requests posted to Amazon::S3 take 2 parameters:
- EVENT
-
The name of an event in the calling session where responses will be sent.
- OPTS
-
Required by most events, this is a hashref of various options. All events support an optional key
pass
which takes an arrayref containing anything to be passed-through to the response event.
All responses sent back contain at least 2 parameters:
- RETURN VALUE (ARG0)
-
The return value from the event. This may be a simple boolean value indicating success or failure, a hashref of keys, etc.
- RESPONSE OBJECT (ARG1)
-
The complete HTTP::Response object returned by the request. If the return value returned false, the Amazon S3 error information will be stored in $response->{s3_error}
- PASS-THROUGH PARAMETERS
-
Anything sent in the
pass
arrayref will be returned in ARG2, ARG3, etc.
buckets
Retrieve a list of all buckets.
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'buckets',
'buckets_done',
{
pass => [ @args ],
}
);
Returns 0 on failure and a hashref on success:
{
owner_id => $owner_id,
owner_displayname => $display_name,
buckets => [
{
bucket => $bucket_name,
creation_date => $date,
},
...
]
}
add_bucket
Add a new bucket. Note that there is a limit of 100 buckets per account.
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'add_bucket',
'add_bucket_done', # event where response is sent
{
bucket => $bucket_name, # new bucket to create
acl_short => $canned_acl, # optional ACL for bucket, see below
pass => [ @args ], # optional items passed through to response event
}
);
Returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
delete_bucket
Delete a bucket. The bucket must not contain any keys or the call will fail.
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'delete_bucket',
'delete_bucket_done',
{
bucket => $bucket_name, # bucket to delete
pass => [ @args ], # optional pass-through items
}
);
Returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
add_key
Add a key to a bucket. An unlimited number of keys can be added to any one bucket. Each keky may contain any data up to 5GB in size.
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'add_key',
'add_key_done',
{
bucket => $bucket_name, # bucket which will contain the new key
key => $key_name, # new key
acl_short => $canned_acl, # optional ACL for bucket, see below
pass => [ @args ], # optional pass-through items
# The key's data can be set from either an in-memory variable or
# from a file on disk. Using a disk file is highly recommended for
# large items to save on memory usage.
data => $inline_data,
file => $file_path,
}
);
Returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
head_key
Retrieve only the HTTP headers associated with a key.
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'head_key',
'head_key_done',
{
bucket => $bucket_name,
key => $key,
pass => [ @args ],
}
);
Returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
list_bucket
Retrieve a list of keys in a bucket. This method is best used for paging through many results. If you simply want a list of all keys regardless of how many there are, call list_bucket_all instead.
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'list_bucket',
'list_bucket_done',
{
bucket => $bucket_name,
pass => [ @args ],
# These optional params are explained below.
prefix => $prefix,
delimiter => $delimiter,
'max-keys' => $max_keys,
marker => $marker,
}
);
- prefix
-
If specified, restricts the response to only contain results that begin with the specified prefix.
- delimiter
-
If this optional, Unicode string parameter is included with your request, then keys that contain the same string between the prefix and the first occurrence of the
delimiter
will be rolled up into a single result element and returned in thecommon_prefixes
list. These rolled-up keys are not returned elsewhere in the response. For example, with prefix="USA/" and delimiter="/", the matching keys "USA/Oregon/Salem" and "USA/Oregon/Portland" would be summarized in the response as a single "USA/Oregon" element in thecommon_prefixes
list. If an otherwise matching key does not contain the delimiter after the prefix, it appears in the normal list of keys.Each element in the
common_prefixes
list counts as one against themax-keys
limit. The rolled-up keys represented by eachcommon_prefixes
element do not. If thedelimiter
parameter is not present in your request, keys in the result set will not be rolled-up and neither thecommon_prefixes
list nor thenext_marker
element will be present in the response. - max-keys
-
This optional argument limits the number of results returned in response to your query. Amazon S3 will return no more than this number of results, but possibly less. Even if
max-keys
is not specified, Amazon S3 will limit the number of results in the response (usually this limit is 1000 keys). Check theis_truncated
flag to see if your results are incomplete. If so, use themarker
parameter to request the next page of results. For the purpose of counting max-keys, a 'result' is either a single key, or a delimited prefix in thecommon_prefixes
list. So for delimiter requests,max-keys
limits the total number of list results, not just the number of keys. - marker
-
This optional parameter enables pagination of large result sets.
marker
specifies where in the result set to resume listing. It restricts the response to only contain results that occur alphabetically after the value ofmarker
. To retrieve the next page of results, use the last key from the current page of results as themarker
in your next request.See also
next_marker
, below.If
marker
is omitted, the first page of results is returned.
Returns 0 on error and a hashref of results on success:
{
bucket => $bucket_name,
prefix => $bucket_prefix,
common_prefixes => [ $prefix1, $prefix2, ... ]
marker => $bucket_marker,
next_marker => $bucket_next_available_marker,
max_keys => $bucket_max_keys,
is_truncated => $bucket_is_truncated_boolean
keys => [ $key1, $key2, ... ]
}
- common_prefixes
-
If list_bucket was requested with a
delimiter
,common_prefixes
will contain a list of prefixes matching that delimiter. Drill down into these prefixes by making another request with theprefix
parameter. - next_marker
-
A convenience element, useful when paginating with delimiters. The value of
next_marker
, if present, is the largest (alphabetically) of all key names and allcommon_prefixes
in the response. If theis_truncated
flag is set, request the next page of results by settingmarker
to the value ofnext_marker
. This element is only present in the response if thedelimiter
parameter was sent with the request. - is_truncated
-
This flag indicates whether or not all results of your query were returned in this response. If your results were truncated, you can make a follow-up paginated request using the
marker
parameter to retrieve the rest of the results.
list_bucket_all
Retrieve a list of all keys in a bucket. This may make multiple requests to list_bucket behind the scenes.
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'list_bucket_all',
'list_bucket_all_done',
{
bucket => $bucket_name,
pass => [ @args ],
}
);
Returns 0 on error and a hashref of results on success. This hashref is the same as the one returned by list_bucket.
get_key
Retrieve a single key, optionally saving the key's data directly to a file.
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'get_key',
'get_key_done',
{
bucket => $bucket_name,
key => $key_name,
file => $save_path, # if specified, the key's content is saved
# directly to this file.
pass => [ @args ],
}
);
Returns 1 on success and 0 on error. If a file param was not specified, the key's content will be in $response->content().
delete_key
Delete a single key. WARNING: There is no way to recover a deleted key.
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'delete_key',
'delete_key_done',
{
bucket => $bucket_name,
key => $key_name,
pass => [ @args ],
}
);
Returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
ACCESS CONTROL LISTS
Every bucket and key in S3 has an access control list. This module provides full support for setting and getting ACLs. For a full explanation of S3's ACLs, please read the technical documentation at http://s3.amazonaws.com/
As mentioned above, the add_bucket
and add_key
events accept an optional acl_short
parameter to set their ACL at the time of creation so set_acl
does not need to be called.
set_acl
Set a new ACL on a bucket or key. An ACL may be specified as either one of four standard ACLs, or as a detailed list of users/groups and permissions.
The four canned ACLs you may use with the acl_short
param are:
- private
-
Only the creator of the bucket/key has access.
- public-read
-
Anyone may read the bucket/key. If set on a key, it may be downloaded using a standard HTTP GET. This ACL is often used for storing static website content in S3.
- public-read-write
-
Anyone may read and overwrite the bucket/key.
- authenticated-read
-
Any other authenticated S3 user may read the bucket/key.
Example using a canned ACL:
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'set_acl',
'set_acl_done',
{
bucket => $bucket_name,
key => $key_name, # optional
acl_short => 'public-read',
pass => [ @args ],
}
);
ACLs may also be specified as a full list of users and/or groups, and their permissions. You should read the S3 documentation before using this method for setting ACLs.
my $acl = [
# grant WRITE to another S3 user
{
display_name => $other_name,
id => $other_id,
permission => 'WRITE',
},
# grant READ to all users (same as public-read)
{
URI => 'http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/global/AllUsers',
permission => 'READ',
},
# grant READ to a user with a valid Amazon email account
{
email => $email_address,
permission => 'READ',
},
];
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'set_acl',
'set_acl_done',
{
bucket => $bucket_name,
key => $key_name, # optional
acl => $acl,
pass => [ @args ],
}
);
Returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
get_acl
Retrieve the full ACL list for a bucket or key.
$kernel->post(
s3 => 'get_acl',
'get_acl_done',
{
bucket => $bucket_name,
key => $key_name, # optional
pass => [ @args ],
}
);
Returns an arrayref containing a list of grants on the bucket or key, or 0 on error.
ERROR HANDLING
The $return value will be false (0) if an error occurred. If an error occurred, the $response object will contain an additional key, s3_error
, which is a hashref of the error response. Example:
# $response->{s3_error} contains:
{
code => 'NoSuchKey',
message => 'The resource you requested does not exist',
}
For a full list of possible error codes, please see http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/2006-03-01/ErrorCodeList.html
TESTING
This module will skip all tests unless a few environment variables are set. Running tests will cost you a very small bit in bandwidth charges. If any tests fail, some buckets and/or keys may not be cleaned up properly, so you should check with a tool like the S3 Firefox Organizer to make sure they are not costing you storage money.
- AMZ_S3_ID
-
Set to your Amazon S3 ID.
- AMZ_S3_KEY
-
Set to your Amazon S3 Key.
- AMZ_S3_STRESS
-
Optional. Set if you want to run the larger stress test that creates 150 keys.
