S3 intermittent public access problem

Question

I'm having trouble accessing the images from an S3 public bucket. The error occurs more often whenever I try to access with PHP's file_get_contents function. The message I get is "Connection reset by peer". Does anyone know if there is any kind of protection from multiple access?

Answer

The 'Connection reset by peer' error when accessing S3 images with file_get_contents() often occurs due to the server closing the connection prematurely. The most effective solution is to use the official AWS SDK or a dedicated S3 client library for PHP instead.

These libraries are designed to handle S3 scenarios more robustly and include built-in retry mechanisms for handling network issues or rate-limiting by AWS. For example, with the AWS SDK for PHP, you can use the getObject() method of the S3Client class to fetch the image data:

$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'region' => 'your-aws-region',
]);

try {
    $result = $s3->getObject([
        'Bucket' => 'your-bucket-name',
        'Key' => 'path/to/your/image.jpg',
    ]);
    $imageData = $result['Body'];
    // ...
} catch (Aws\S3\Exception\S3Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
