SignatureDoesNotMatch $cordovaFileTransfer


I'm trying to upload a video to Amazon s3 previously recorded with $cordovaCapture.

The capture process works correctly, and as a response I get the object:

[MediaFile]
  0: 
    MediaFileend: 0
    fullPath: "file:/storage/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/VID_20160919_144041.mp4"
    lastModified: null
    lastModifiedDate: 1474288843000
    localURL: "cdvfile://localhost/persistent/DCIM/Camera/VID_20160919_144041.mp4"
    name: "VID_20160919_144041.mp4"
    size: 17098
    start: 0
    type: "video/mp4"
    __proto__: utils.extend.F
  length: 1
  __proto__: Array[0]

Then, before I upload the video, I request to my server the Authenticating URL as it follows:

nodeJS

getSignedUrl: function (filename, type, callback) {
  if (filename) {
    AWS.config.update({
      accessKeyId: 'my_access_key',
      secretAccessKey: 'my_secret_access_key',
      region: 'my_region'
    });

    var s3 = new AWS.S3();
    s3.getSignedUrl('putObject', {Bucket: 'my_bucket', Key: 'uploads/' + filename, ContentType: type}, function (err, url) {
      if (err) {
        callback(err);
      } else {
        callback(url);
      }
    });
  } else {
    callback('Error');
  }
}

That gives me the next endpoint:

https://s3-my_region.amazonaws.com/my_bucket/uploads/VID_20160919_144…=video%2Fmp4&Expires=1474289746&Signature=sF67ukPu3oELJXzsmAXCeeEJ%2FE4%3D

After I get the URL to point my upload, here is where problems are comming:

Having this code:

var options = {
  httpMethod: "PUT",
  fileName: name,
  mimeType: type,
  chunkedMode: 'false',
  encodedURI: 'false',
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": type
  }
};

$cordovaFileTransfer.upload(url, videoPath, options)
  .then(function (result) {
    callback(result);
  }, function (err) {
    callback(err);
  }, function (progress) {
    p = progress;
});

This is the error that I get:

http status: 403
Code: 1

<Error>
  <Code>SignatureDoesNotMatch</Code>
  <Message>The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method.</Message>

  </HostId>
</Error>

Sounds like the problem is around the header, that doesn't work as expected.

As well, I tried with a second option code in my client following directly the documentation of the cordova-plugin-file-transfer:

var options = new FileUploadOptions(),
  ft = new FileTransfer();

options.httpMethod = "PUT";
options.fileName = name;
options.mimeType = type;
options.headers = {
  ContentType: type
};
options.chunkedMode = "false";
options.encodeURI = "false";

ft.upload(videoPath, url, callback, callback, options);

with the same response error.

Here I got also problems with Content-Type. Even though in the documentation declares like:

var headers = {
  "Content-Type": 'video/mp4'
};

options.headers = headers;

it was returning me the next error:

http status: 501
description: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Error>
  <Code>NotImplemented</Code>
  <Message>
    A header you provided implies functionality that is not implemented
  </Message>
  <Header>Transfer-Encoding</Header>
  <RequestId>231F38AFFBB587C6</RequestId>
  .
  .
  .
</Error>

Just as a note, I made it work with a $http.post like in this other post of mine.

UPDATE

Investigating much more in the issue, with the nodeJS code I wasn't able to upload anything as well, so I just modified the S3 constructor like this way:

s3 = new AWS.S3({
  signatureVersion: 'v4',
  region: "us-west-2"
});

After that, checking with curl through console like this way:

curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" --upload-file "/Users/my_user/Desktop/VID_20160920_233443.mp4" "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/my_bucket/uploads/VID_20160920_233443.mp4?Content-Type=video%2Fmp4&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAJV3UP7LBEKPYMLGA%2F20160921%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20160921T103723Z&X-Amz-Expires=600&X-Amz-Signature=8463625a45237452280b3dc9cfd89366093f7b78f8c76598ba2240f06c7f20c9&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host%3Bx-amz-acl&x-amz-acl=public-read"

the response was successfully:

changing the angular code like this new one:

var options = new FileUploadOptions(),
    ft = new FileTransfer();

options.httpMethod = "PUT";
options.fileKey = "file";
options.fileName = name;
options.mimeType = type;
options.chunkedMode = false;

options.headers = {
  "Content-Type": type,
  "x-amz-acl": 'public-read'
};

ft.upload(videoPath, url, callback(null), callback, options);

The problem still comes:

An error has occurred: Code = 1
upload error source cdvfile://localhost/persistent/DCIM/Camera/VID_20160921_122323.mp4
upload error target https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/my_bucket/uploads/VID_20160921_122…9e365af3f771c5d&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host%3Bx-amz-acl&x-amz-acl=public-read

Here I include my FileUploadOptions():

chunkedMode: false
fileKey: "file"
fileName: "VID_20160921_125152.mp4"
headers: Object
  Content-Type: "video/mp4"
  x-amz-acl: "public-read"
  __proto__: Object
httpMethod: "PUT"
mimeType: "video/mp4"
params: null

UPDATE 2

Trying directly with the $cordovaFileTransfer plugin from ngCordova, I get another error:

"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Error><Code>AuthorizationQueryParametersError</Code><Message>Error parsing the X-Amz-Credential parameter; the Credential is mal-formed; expecting "&lt;YOUR-AKID&gt;/YYYYMMDD/REGION/SERVICE/aws4_request".</Message><RequestId>C863350E96804F5C</RequestId><HostId>7TmXBDlsGNvDmLFKgLePTMAg+Onf8y1ZPTEWmbdHPAyWHFIdt1+5J7U3H8Ygnf3sebMRpRNdxXA=</HostId></Error>"

UPDATE 3

To clarify everything as much as possible I've deployed a github with all the backend/frontend in which I'm working.

Thanks once again.

UPDATE 4

Thanks to the help of daserge, I could get the headers of my PUT. Here bellow I paste the result:

Host    s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com
Connection  Keep-Alive
Accept-Encoding gzip

Then I realiced there were 2 parameters wrong:

Content-Type: application/xml
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

As well, I've realiced about encoding. It sould be %2F and it's coming like %252F.

Which is strange because the way I'm using the params seems to be right:

options = {
  fileKey: 'file',
  fileName: name,
  chunkedMode: false,
  httpMethod: 'PUT',
  mimeType: "application/octet-stream",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/octet-stream"
  }
};

$cordovaFileTransfer.upload(server, filePath, options)
  .then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
  }, function (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }, function (progress) {
    console.log(progress);
  });

as well, thanks to bvakiti I've realiced there is an error message because I'm sending the video to an https. I'm trying http.


Solution

  • It seems that there is a conflict between the endpoint you get from AWS and the way you use $cordovaFileTransfer.

    When you get the endpoint with s3.getSignedUrl in your server, only the params of the the response URL are encoded (the base URL keeps non-encoded).

    When you use $cordovaFileTransfer That function encodes again the params, that's why you see that %252F which match to //.

    There are 3 options:

    • Instead, before your $cordovaFileTransfer calling, decode the params

      var host = server.split('?')[0] + '?' + decodeURIComponent(server.split('?')[1]);
      
    • Use options.params as described in the documentation

    The option encodeURI: false suggested in other help comments didn't work for me

    Hope it helps.
