I've written a PHP script that generates a signed CloudFront URL for RTMP with use in Flowplayer that's working just fine, but when I use the same signature generation method to create a download URL I get an AccessDenied XML file from Amazon. I've tried just about everything and I'm at my wits end. Anyone know why the signature would work for RTMP streaming, but that same signature generation method would fail for a download?
$keyPairId = 'APK...';
$privateKey = '/var/www/certs/pk-APK....pem';
$rtmp = false;
$distribution = 'd2m...';
// Get extension.
$extension = substr($this->getFilename(), strrpos($this->getFilename(), '.') + 1);
$fileName = substr($this->getFilename(), 0, strrpos($this->getFilename(), '.'));
$expires = strtotime(gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+3 hours')));
$json = '{"Statement":[{"Resource":"' . $fileName . '","Condition"{"DateLessThan":{"AWS:EpochTime":' . $expires . '}}}]}';
// read cloudfront private key pair
$fp = fopen($privateKey, 'r');
$priv_key = fread($fp, 8192);
fclose($fp);
// create the private key
$key = openssl_get_privatekey($priv_key);
// sign the policy with the private key
// depending on your php version you might have to use
// openssl_sign($json, $signed_policy, $key, OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA1)
openssl_sign($json, $signed_policy, $key);
openssl_free_key($key);
// create url safe signed policy
$base64_signed_policy = base64_encode($signed_policy);
$signature = str_replace(array('+', '=', '/'), array('-', '_', '~'), $base64_signed_policy);
// construct the url
$urlParams = urlencode($this->getFilename()) . '?Expires=' . $expires .'&Signature=' . $signature . '&Key-Pair-Id=' . $keyPairId;
$keyPairId;
if ($rtmp) {
$url = ( ($this->getExtension() != 'flv') ? $this->getExtension() . ':' : '' ) . $urlParams;
} else {
$url = 'https://' . $distribution . '.cloudfront.net/' . $urlParams;
}
