generate a presigned URL with aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C

Question

Is is possible somehow to generate a presigned URL with the aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C?

I've been looking at the demo http_demo_s3_download which I can run successfully.

I tried to add in http_demo_s3_download.c, just after

    if( returnStatus == true )
    {
        LogInfo( ( "The file is %d bytes long.", ( int32_t ) *pFileSize ) );

The following code:

        char ota_temp_url[2048] = "https://" \
                                  AWS_S3_ENDPOINT \
                                  AWS_S3_URI_PATH \
                                  "?response-content-disposition=inline";
        strcat(ota_temp_url, "&X-Amz-Security-Token=");
        strncat(ota_temp_url, pSecurityToken, securityTokenLen);
        strcat(ota_temp_url, "&X-Amz-Algorithm=");
        strcat(ota_temp_url, SIGV4_AWS4_HMAC_SHA256);
        strcat(ota_temp_url, "&X-Amz-Date=");
        strncat(ota_temp_url, pDateISO8601, SIGV4_ISO_STRING_LEN);
        strcat(ota_temp_url, "&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host");
        strcat(ota_temp_url, "&X-Amz-Expires=3600");
        strcat(ota_temp_url, "&X-Amz-Credential=");
        {
            char* pchar_start = strstr(pSigv4Auth, " Credential=");
            if (pchar_start) {
                char* pchar_end = strstr(pchar_start, ",");
                if (pchar_end) {
                    strncat(ota_temp_url, pchar_start+12, pchar_end-pchar_start-12);
                }
            }
        }
        strcat(ota_temp_url, "&X-Amz-Signature=");
        strncat(ota_temp_url, signature, signatureLen);
        LogInfo( ( "ota_temp_url=%s", ota_temp_url ) );

This is generating a URL with the correct syntax but I'm failing to understand what's wrong as the answer I get is:

Can anybody help me?

Hi,

Can you compare the  URL that you create to the one generated by 'aws s3 presign' with same input parameters?  
See https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/s3/presign.html

That should help determine where your problem is. (it's very often in the signature)

Best,

Didier

Hi Giuseppe.

> Is is possible somehow to generate a presigned URL with the aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C?

This SDK has no specific support for that. It's not something a constrained device that uses this SDK would typically do. A more common workflow is for the cloud to generate the presigned URL and send it to the device over MQTT. The following blog shows this kind of workflow for the case of S3 upload, but a similar workflow for download could be used: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/iot/securely-ingesting-large-sized-payloads-from-iot-devices-to-the-aws-cloud/

Likewise, AWS IoT Jobs includes support for presigned URLs in job documents: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/create-manage-jobs.html#create-manage-jobs-presigned-URLs. This demo uses this functionality: https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C/blob/main/demos/ota/ota_demo_core_http/ota_demo_core_http.c
