So here is my code. Looks like the typical fog code.
prefix = 'data:image/png;base64,'
png = Base64.decode64(data[prefix.length, data.length-1])
aws_settings = YAML.load_file(RAILS_ROOT + "/config/amazon_s3.yml")[RAILS_ENV] rescue nil
if aws_settings
connection = Fog::Storage.new(
:provider => 'AWS',
:aws_access_key_id => aws_settings['access_key_id'],
:aws_secret_access_key => aws_settings['secret_access_key']
)
directory = connection.directories.get(aws_settings['bucket_name'])
filename = "#{quiz_id}/#{user_id}_#{question_id}.png"
file = directory.files.create(
:key => filename,
:body => png,
:public => true
)
end
the problem is when I call file.public_url I will randomly get one of two different urls. Either I will get:
https://bucket_name.s3.amazonaws.com/19/235_146.png
or
http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket_name/19/235_150.png
While I don't care one way or the other, I would like the url to be consistent.
Does anyone know how to remedy this issue? Am I doing something wrong in my code?
I should also mention that I'm doing this inside a Delayed::Job. It seems to always give me the https version when I do this as a normal method call. But when I stick it into Delayed Job is when I get the randomness. Very strange.
Wow, this is kind of embarrassing.. This has turned into a lesson about delayed jobs. Apparently it had cached my old code where I was hard coding the url string to store it off. Like this: url = "http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket_name/{quiz_id}/{user_id}_{question_id}.png"
I later changed it to this: url = file.public_url
Fog does default to that string if your bucket name is not dns compliant. That is why I was so confused as to why this was happening. So yeah, just old cached code that was getting used. I shut down delayed jobs and started it back up again and problem be gone.
The way I was able to figure it out was I was looking at the delayed jobs log and noticed it still has some old puts statements getting printed in there. That is when it clicked. :]
