Upload a file with $.ajax to AWS S3 with a pre-signed url

When you read about how to create and consume a pre-signed url on this guide, everything is really easy. You get your Postman and it works like a charm in the first run.

Then you open your browser, try your usual $.ajax() and send your PUT operation, and you hit the cold iced wall of AWS error message, a simple <Code>SignatureDoesNotMatch</Code> that will steal hours from your productivity.

So here I come to save you and give you a free working example of how to upload a file directly to AWS S3 from your browser. You are wellcome :).

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

Convert MOV to GIF using FFmpeg and ImageMagick

I tried a few different techniques to make a GIF via command-line and the following gives me the best control of quality and size. Once you're all setup, you'll be pumping out GIFs in no time!

Preparation

Install FFmpeg

$ brew install ffmpeg [all your options]
- Example: $ brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-frei0r --with-libass --with-libvo-aacenc --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opencore-amr --with-openjpeg --with-opus --with-rtmpdump --with-schroedinger --with-speex --with-theora --with-tools

Install ImageMagick

Jekyll `sorted_for` plugin

Quick'n'dirty Jekyll plugin for sorted cycle.

Install

Copy sorted_for.rb to _plugins/ directory of your Jekyll site.

Usage

	'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the racks
	Not a server was alerting, not even Compaqs.
	The backups were written to tapes with care
	In hopes that later the data would be there.

	The machines were nestled all snug in their sleds
	Whilst visions of vengeance danced in their heads;
	And oncall in his three-wolf and I in my rack.
	Had just settled down for some syn and some ack.
