Amazon S3 and Encryption
I have a client site running CF7 where we need to move all their pdf documents to Amazon's S3 service. However, we need to encrypt them before sending them to S3. My original plan was to then retrieve the document on the server side, decrypt it, and deliver it to the client via cfcontent. However, I can't find any reference to be able to do this. I know that CF 9.01 has added S3 features to cffile, but I need to do this with CF7. Does anyone have any suggestion? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:338952 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Amazon S3 and Encryption
The simplest way to do this is use cfhttp to download the file from S3. You can lock the files on S3 using simple authentication and use the username and password attributes for chttp. You can also use the Amazon S3 REST Wrapper http://amazons3.riaforge.org/or one of the other libraries from RIAForge.org. I have use the S3 Wrapper before and it works well. But IIRC the S3 wrapper uses cfhttp to talk to S3.

Re: Amazon S3 and Encryption
Gerald, thanks for the suggestions. When you used the REST Wrapper, did you have any problems with secure certificates and cfhttp? In my research I saw a number of people receiving errors when trying to communicate with the S3 servers over https?

It was quite a while ago since I last used it so I am going from memory. Sorry if I cannot be of more help. G!
