Spaces (or other special chars) in a filename about amazons3requestmanager HOT 3 CLOSED

Hmm that's odd. Just confirming, you are talking about the destinationPath for the upload having spaces or special characters in it.

It may just be that Amazon S3 does not support those characters in their file paths. If that is the case, the only thing I can do about it is to add a note on it to the documentation. I'll look into this and see if this is an Amazon thing or a problem with the library.

Thanks!

What special characters are you using specifically? Some special characters are supported, but not all it seems.

Object names:

The following character sets are generally safe for use in key names:

• Alphanumeric characters [0-9a-zA-Z]
• Special characters !, -, _, ., *, ', (, and )

Bucket names:

Bucket names must be a series of one or more labels. Adjacent labels are separated by a single period (.). Bucket names can contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Each label must start and end with a lowercase letter or a number.

Foreign language characters e.g. šđčćž. I was able to make a workaround by using id instead of a filename in the destination path. However, I still dont understand why the problem happens. In the guidelines you posted it says using any UTF-8 character should be ok, which I believe is true because if I do the uploading to s3 on the server side (using paperclip) it works. Paperclip substitutes spaces with underscore tho, but foreign language characters get percent encoded.
Were you able to reproduce the issue?
