    Hi Barry & Team,

    I have just started using the Amazon S3 Extension.

    The description refers to “secure, expiring download links”

    Is it possible to have links to S3 files that are “Public”, that is that do not require a login and do not expire? (e.g so they are indexed by Search Engines)

    Regards,
    Leigh

    I worked out how to make an Amazon S3 file Public.

    I used Cloudberry Explorer – Right Click | ACL Settings | All Users | Read [*]. Probably something similar in the S3 console.

    Tested one of these files in Download Monitor.

    The URL has all the security stuff appended:

    https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/mincad-website-downloads/CIRCLY_6.0_Install.exe?X-Amz-Content-Sha256=e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAJWCQXNMQ2QXD23NQ%2F20151023%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20151023T014315Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=Host&X-Amz-Expires=900&X-Amz-Signature=8e32dd05f38f8956cfd4c7b4f3293527929003bfc5ca10908aee4d4212d4b94b

    It will download the file when the WP User is not logged in.

    But the bad news is that the URL expires.

    We really need a way for the Amazon S3 Extension to just serve up the URL without any of the security stuff appended.
