✨ SWIFT-FORM-SIGNATURE ✨

ok so bestie, welcome to swift-form-signature 💖 — it lives in the General Commands Manual section (that's section 1, iykyk) and it's genuinely one of those lil tools that just does the thing.

🌸 NAME 🌸

swift-form-signature — compute the expires and signature for OpenStack Swift Form POST middleware 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

swift-form-signature path redirect max_file_size max_file_count seconds key

like. six args. that's it. no cap. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: it's a tool that computes the expires and signature values 💅 and those two lil guys are what let you upload objects directly to the Swift from a browser by using the form POST middleware. no middleman, no drama, just vibes and a signed form. iconic behavior honestly. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • path — the prefix that gets slapped onto every form-uploaded object. for example: /v1/account/container/object_prefix_ would make sure all your form uploads have that path prepended to the browser-given file name. so like, whatever filename the browser hands over, this gets glued to the front. 🍓
  • redirect — the URL the browser gets yeeted to once the uploads have completed. main character exit. 🚪✨
  • max_file_size — the maximum file size, per file uploaded. one file, one cap. periodt. 📏
  • max_file_count — the maximum number of uploaded files allowed. yes there's a limit bestie, the vibes are contained. 🔢
  • seconds — the number of seconds from now to allow the form post to begin. so it's a countdown starting, like, immediately. ⏳
  • key — the X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key for the account. keep this one safe, it's the whole vibe check of the signature. 🔑💀
