Hi!

First I would like to recommend Germi's custom coding service. For a very reasonable price, he helped us to customize certain things in the current MC to our needs. I found Germi to be very service-minded and willing to go the extra mile to satisfy the customer.

We plan to host our licensed music in a protected storage at Amazon S3 and call it through signed URL:s. This Amazon S3 forum discussion contains the relevant code (obviously, you need to have an account there to use it):

And here is the code in question (which requires calling the hmac.php file):

require_once('Crypt/HMAC.php');
//
//
echo getS3Redirect("2007ehsfootball-11-cascade", "/Game/_Cascade%20Entire%20Game.html");
//
//
function getS3Redirect($bucketName, $objectName)
{
$accessKey = "";
$secretKey = "";
// note: breaking this url in to parts so the forum software doesn't try and create a link in my post
$S3_URL = "http:" . "//" . $bucketName . ".s3.amazonaws.com";
$expires = time() + (60*5);
$stringToSign = "GETnnn" . $expires . "n/" . $bucketName . $objectName;
$hasher =& new Crypt_HMAC($secretKey, "sha1");
$sig = $hasher->hash(trim($stringToSign));
$sig = hex2b64($sig);
$sig = rawurlencode(trim($sig));
return "$S3_URL$objectName?AWSAccessKeyId=$accessKey&Expires=$expires&awsSignature=$sig";
}
//
