Re^2: How to specify a Region when creating an AWS S3 bucket?

[Anonymous Monk]

Hi, yes ... but the location_constraint parameter only accepts the values 'US' or 'EU' ... correct? Therefore you'll end up either at the Irland location (EU) or at the US East - N. Virginia location (US). I can't specify other valid AWS locations like eu-central-1 (Frankfurt). See complete list of location constraints: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html Even if I create a bucket in the AWS console - and than using this bucket in my Perl script - I can't create objects in that bucket.

Isn't it because of the Signature V4? This GitHub PR might fix it.

Before using location_constraint you must pass the host parameter to the Net::Amazon::S3 constructor. (Note I have never found it necessary to use the param after connecting in this way).

Here's how I do it:

$conf = {
    aws_access_key_id     => 'foo',
    aws_secret_access_key => 'bar',
    host                  => 's3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com',
};

my $s3_base = Net::Amazon::S3->new( $conf );
my $s3      = Net::Amazon::S3::Client->new( s3 => $s3_base );

my $bucket = $s3->bucket( name => $bucket_name );

...

Hope this helps!
