[S3tools-commits] [Open Discussion] RE: anonymous connection

[SourceForge.net <no...@so...>]

The following forum message was posted by tdarci at http://sourceforge.net/projects/s3tools/forums/forum/618865/topic/4538024:

S3 does have a concept of anonymous access, not just access for those
authenticating.

Here are some notes from the "GroupGrantee" page of the javadoc:

"public static final GroupGrantee AllUsers

Grants anonymous access to any Amazon S3 object or bucket. Any user will be
able to access the object by omitting the AWS Key ID and Signature from
a request."

So, I think the issue is that s3cmd is sending an empty access_key instead of
omitting it from the request or something. That's cool, I can test this with
something else. Just wondering if there was a way to make s3 do it.

Thanks,
