S3Server 5.3.1

S3Server

Simple S3 server-side interface, produced using Amazon's public documentation. Want a simple S3 storage server built using S3Server? Check out Less3.

Feedback and Enhancements

Is there an API you'd like exposed that isn't currently? Did you identify an issue or have other feedback? Please file an issue here!

New in v5.3.x

• Dependency updates and bugfixes
• Removal of base domains as a property
• Added callback ServiceCallbacks.FindMatchingBaseDomain
• Added test project Test.RequestStyle

Examples

Refer to Test.Client and Test.Server projects for full examples.

Important

The following notes should be read prior to using S3Server:

• Path-style URLs are default, i.e. http://hostname.com/bucket/key

• Virtual hosting URLs can be used by setting S3Server.ServiceCallbacks.FindMatchingBaseDomain

  • You must use a wildcard listener (e.g. * or +) and run under administrative privileges
  • This callback takes one input parameter, the hostname from the HTTP request
  • Your implementation should compare the hostname with your list of base domains
  • The return value from this method should be the base domain to which the hostname matches
  • If no match is found, throw a KeyNotFoundException
  • You may have to set DNS or your hosts file to resolve these names accordingly
  • Alternatively, use a hostname that resolves to localhost (e.g. [host].local.gd or [host].fbi.com)
  • Any request where the base domain is NOT found in incoming hostname will be treated as a path-style URL request

Server

Refer to the Test.Server project for a more complete example.

using S3ServerLibrary;
using S3ServerLibrary.S3Objects;

// Initialize the server
S3Server server = new S3Server("[hostname]", 8000, false, DefaultRequestHandler); // host, port, SSL

// Set callbacks
server.Service.ListBuckets = ListBuckets;
server.Bucket.Exists = BucketExists;
// etc

// Start the server
server.Start();

// Example callback definition
static async Task DefaultRequestHandler(S3Context ctx)
{
  ctx.Response.StatusCode = 400;
  ctx.Response.ContentType = Constants.ContentTypeText;
  ctx.Response.Send("Bad request");
}

// Callback expecting a response object
static async Task<ListAllMyBucketsResult> ListBuckets(S3Context ctx)
{
  return new ListAllMyBucketsResult();
}

static async Task<bool> BucketExists(S3Context ctx)
{
  return true;
  // throw new S3Exception(new Error(ErrorCode.NoSuchBucket));
}

// Callback passing object to you
static async Task BucketWriteTags(S3Context ctx, Tagging tags)
{
  return;
}

Client

Use the following example with the AWSSDK.S3 NuGet package to point your S3 client toward S3Server.

using Amazon;
using Amazon.Runtime;
using Amazon.S3;
using Amazon.S3.Model;

BasicAWSCredentials cred = new Amazon.Runtime.BasicAWSCredentials("access key", "secret key");            
AmazonS3Config config = new AmazonS3Config
{
  RegionEndpoint = RegionEndpoint.USWest1, 
  ServiceURL = "http://localhost:8000/",  
  ForcePathStyle = true, // required if not using virtual hosting style
  UseHttp = true
};
IAmazonS3 client = new AmazonS3Client(cred, config);

Request and Responses

An S3Context object is passed to your callbacks which includes three properties:

• S3Request - the parsed S3 request
• S3Response - the response object with which you will interact to send a response
• Metadata - an object that you can choose to set with your own value
  • This is often helpful if you use the PreRequestHandler for authentication or other purposes

S3Server expects the code you implement in your callbacks to either:

• Respond with a variable (see S3Server.Bucket.Exists, expects a Boolean)
• Simply return when no response object is required (see S3Server.Object.DeleteTagging)
• Throw an S3Exception with the appropriate Error object if something goes wrong

Operation

S3Server parses incoming HTTP requests, extracting key pieces of information to determine the type of request sent by the caller. The logic to handle these requests is NOT provided by S3Server; you have to create that logic yourself in your callbacks. Callbacks are called when a request of that type has been received, otherwise, a generic 400 error is returned to the client.

Refer to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/Welcome.html for the S3 API documentation used to create this project.

The following callbacks are supported:

Service Callbacks

Bucket Callbacks

Object Callbacks

^1 Refer to the Bytes header in S3Request.Headers for the range that should be retrieved. ^2 A delete multiple request body must be supplied.
