Incompatible with Franktfurt region due to v4 signature requirements

[DavidAnderson684]

Hi,

This is a really interesting and clever project.

One problem I found during testing - buckets in Amazon's "Frankfurt" (EU Central 1) region can't be used, because that region requires use of their v4 signature. i.e. Signature versions before v4 aren't supported in that region.

The same goes for Beijing, and probably for any new regions Amazon roll out in future.

Hi,

Thanks for letting us know. If you have/make a patch, I'll be happy to merge the pull request.

I don't - my JavaScript skills would need a lot of improvement to be able to do this in a timely way (I can live without this region); however, in my research I found this example implementation in PHP which might be helpful: https://github.com/chrismeller/awstools/blob/master/aws/signature/v4.php

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/sigv4-calculate-signature.html and
https://code.google.com/p/crypto-js/#HMAC would help if someone is able to make a patch. I can't promise anything, sorry. :-)

Personally, I don't have an absolute need for using the Frankfurt or Beijing regions. But if someone else has the same issue, hopefully this information may help them.
