I am currently trying to use this plugin on a Heroku Rails 3.1.3 application.

I have this in my gemfile.

gem 's3_swf_upload', :git => 'git://github.com/nathancolgate/s3-swf-upload-plugin'
gem 'aws-s3', :require => 'aws/s3'

I bundled the gem into my application, generated the rails code, created a new controller and view, and added the following to the view.

<%=raw s3_swf_upload_tag %>
<input type="submit" value="Start Uploading" onclick="s3_swf_1_object.startUploading();" />

I have added, committed and pushed all files to the heroku master. I am getting the following error.

2011-12-27T17:53:14+00:00 app[web.1]: Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 129ms

I have also tried running the following.

bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Configured app as per instructions, including;

:onFileNotInQueue => "alert('File not found in the queue');",

1. Click browse
2. Add files
3. Click 'delete' on one of the files in the list.
4. See popup alert 'File not found in the queue' (but file is removed from the list OK).

Problem also exists on demo app: http://s3swfuploader.heroku.com/

I followed the installation directions, but I get an error in my browser saying "There was an error" and the following stuff in my server console: (Rails 3.0.3, Ruby 1.9.2.)

Started GET "/s3_uploads.xml?key=apAsm%2Epng&content%5Ftype=image%2Fpng" for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-01-06 21:41:32 -0800

Hi Nathan,

First, allow me to say how much I love this uploader!

Second, I've noticed that files with question marks in their titles "image?.jpg" strip everything after the question mark, including the mark itself. In addition, anything with with a forward slash "image/.jpg" in the title strips everything before the forward slash, including the forward slash itself.

The issue is that the name is also changed in the javascript array of files so I can't access the original name for some post processing after the upload occurs.

Is there some way via Javascript to relax the way this is being interpreted?
If not, would you mind pointing out in the code where you're stripping this out and how I can recompile the swf?

Thanks,

i did everything like you said now i dont get it why it isn't working i did everything i could but couldn't get my git repository for this try is in https://github.com/thesetu/swftestthesetu plz help me on this

Currently when the S3 upload finished, regardless of the keyPrefix you give it, it will tack the original file name on to the end of this keyPrefix. Is it at all possible to write an entirely new name for the s3 destination?

We seem to be running into issues with the button loading on IE, perhaps related to: GreenAsJade#4 in the original repo.

Hello,

This is a weird one. The upload doesn't start but firebug doesn't show any JS errors.

However, when I try to execute "s3_swf_1_object.startUploading();" in the firebug console, I get the below error -
this.obj().startUploading is not a function http://localhost:3000/javascripts/s3_upload.js?1329378949 Line 80

This seemed to be working fine in a previous commit but is now broken.
I have not made any significant changes to this part of the code.

Been trying to figure which change broke this for the past 2 days, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere!

Any help would be highly appreciated..

% rails generate s3_swf_uploader:uploader
% WARNING: You are using the S3 SWF Uploader gem, which wants a config file at /../config/amazon_s3.yml, but none could be found. You should try running 'rails generate s3_swf_upload:uploader'

Infinite loop of WARNINGS!

Does it support uploads bigger than 2GB? From my tests, it just hangs. I've read something related to flash limits on upload sizes.

I looked at the actionscript code, and I believe it's because clearQueue calls this.removeAll() - and I can't find a definition for removeAll anywhere in the source.

I've really been pulling my hair out over this one. I have a fork of this project that I've been using successfully for a while. Now I'm trying to integrate it into a project that is secure over HTTPS, but I'm getting errors which lead me to believe it's a problem with Flash trying to fetch the signature XML over HTTPS. The onSignatureIOError function is getting called with an io_error_event.text of Error #2032. Is it a known issue that the SWF has problems with self-signed certificates? Or could it be something I'm not even thinking of?

Hi Nathan

Love this plugin btw, you have really saved the day for me today...

One thing that would be really nice however would be to allow a filename & keyPrefix to be explicitly set for the SwfUpload object after it's been initialized. The reason I need this is as follows:

• Form is shown to user, but user model is not yet created for that user as we don't have their details.
• They fill in all their details in the form and select an avatar at the same time
• User submits the form, however we catch this and use some AJAX to send the form data to the controller which in turn creates a model. We now have a user ID which is returned back to the browser via AJAX.
• At this point I want to tell SwfUpload to use a path for this user such as /user/50/avatar/ and name the file original.jpg. This will ensure that users can never upload over other user's images and also negates the need for me to move the file after it's uploaded which I'm doing now.

Not sure how difficult this would be, but I think it would add a lot.

Thanks,
Matthew

Thanks for all the updates on this plug-in.

I was really happy to know that the aws dependency is over for this plug-in. According to this presentation on Rails performance (http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/8476299?startSlide=47) it adds 30K object to my application.

But gemspec still says - s.add_dependency('aws-s3', '~> 0.6.2')

That's why it's still installs aws-s3 and show it in Gemfile.lock as dependency.

Nathan -- I am following the tutorial, have made it to step 3, "rails generate....." here is the error that I am getting:

This generates a skeletal Rails installation in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog.
See the README in the newly created application to get going.

rails version:

rails -v

Rails 3.0.1

Any ideas? This is an established app, just trying to update the uploader to something a little more useful :)

Thank you!
Jason

I ask for support for a callback upon file dialog closure, similar to
http://demo.swfupload.org/Documentation/#fileDialogComplete

Hope this is possible?

This is a urgent error to me. After I select file from the flash dialog, error will be shown. I have uploaded a movie describe the error here: http://ec2-67-202-32-137.compute-1.amazonaws.com/s3_upload_plugin_error.mov

I'm running Flash 10.1.53.64

Other user running Flash 10.0.x.x seems to be fine.

Is there a reason for this? Does it have to be a fixed option? This was also mentioned here.

#22

When I have buggy code inside callbacks called by ExternalInterface, I never get any exceptions thrown in JS and all debugging gets really hard. I think it is because the AS code doesn't "marshalExceptions".

Please take a look at http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html#marshallExceptions and http://code.google.com/p/swfupload/issues/detail?id=153

P.S. This is probably the real reason (bugs in handlers but no feedback) I couldn't get this plugin working before.

Thanks,

Jacek

Now that this plugin has a gemspec and stuff, you should release it as a gem to rubygems.org. Then people can use it in their gemfiles directly, with just a gem 's3_swf_upload'.

Hi Nathan,

When left to it default setting in the S3UploadsController (line 30):

{'Content-Disposition': 'attachment'},

...uploads happen without a problem. If I switch to:

{'Content-Disposition': 'inline'},

...or remove the line completely in the hopes that by default my upload will be 'inline', Amazon returns with following error:

Amazon S3 returned an error: HTTP status 403.

Do I need to change something else in the controller?

Thanks,
Abel.

Could you possibly elaborate on your paperclip example source? I'm new to Rails, and was able to get most of s3-swf-upload-plugin working, but I haven't been able to fully integrate it into my site yet.

Hi Nethan, I followed your tutorial to the letter,
please have a look at: http://furious-ocean-71.heroku.com/ as you can se there is no graphics for the files? I got the same issue on local host.

I'm running rails 3.0.0.
ruby 1.9.2 on localhost and 1.8.7 on heroku.

files are uploading OK from Heroku but not from localhost?

Hello,

Is there a way to cancel an ongoing upload? I used "s3_swf_1_object.removeFileFromQueue" but it didn't seem to work.

Thanks

Following your video on Vimeo, with the simplest configuration i get this error on my rails server:

NoMethodError (undefined method `&' for "v":String): app/controllers/s3_uploads_controller.rb:36:in `index'

And the line 36 in s3_uploads_controller.rb is the following:

signature = b64_hmac_sha1(secret_key, policy)

Please can you help me?

EDIT: Here's my Development.log file

NoMethodError (undefined method &' for "v":String): app/controllers/s3_uploads_controller.rb:36:inindex'

A little poking around in javascript showed at least some behavior around a 2 GB limit: When uploading a file that the filesystem reported as 2.9 Gb, the file size reported on the way into the uploader was 2971580103 - actually about 2.75 Gb. But who's counting.

The uploader hung for ever, and when progress events finally came back (I only got 2, and then it hung again), they reported a total byte count of 2147483647 - precisely 2 Gb, and only about 28k uploaded. Now, in a 32 bit system, an unsigned integer (what should be used for something like file size) is limited at 4 Gb. But a signed integer would be limited to 2 Gb. Perhaps there's a problem around the bit depth of flash?

To contrast, a much smaller file (< 1 Gb) hung a short while initially, but the upload was virtually instant, once it did begin.

I use Rails on my personal projects (which is how I found out about this library). But now I need to integrate something like this in my PHP application. Is there a "standalone" version of this library that I can use in my PHP application?

I've just tested the gem and it worked great! The best solution I've found to upload directly to s3 using Rails and getting all the cool things such as upload progress, etc...

Is it possible to make a drag & drop work? Would JavaScript be able to tell Flash what file to upload? I guess this would be the flow as the file would be dropped into an HTML zone.

Anyway, I think we would have problems with Flash Security, right?

Thanks!

During my testes, I've uploaded a file called "apresentação.pdf" and it got renamed to "apresenta__o.pdf".

Then, I've uploaded the very same file through Amazon S3 console and the file wasn't renamed at all.

Reading the source, I couldn't find the code that renames a file. Does Flash, Rails or JS are doing this? Or the files get somehow renamed during the file transfer to S3 by Amazon itself?

Anyway I want to know if I can avoid the files being renamed automatically. Actually, I wouldn't want any renaming for now.

Thanks in advance

I've gotten a handful of folks asking how this works with something like PaperClip. Here's a starting point:

http://gist.github.com/575842

Good luck!

I'm running into an error while trying to use this library that I am having trouble debugging. The onUploadIOError javascript callback method is being called, but the only thing that the io_error_event variable has is

text: "Amazon S3 returned an error: HTTP status 403."

I would like to debug further and inspect the XML response return from Amazon. I don't see a way to do that currently. Is there a way that we can pass a debug: true option to enable extra logging?

When I try to put more than one browse-button on a single webpage, only the last one is shown. The <object> tag is correctly inserted into the page, but Flash it self doesn't render it.

I'm on Chrome/Mac

This only happens on this configuration of browsers while attempting to upload any video file to S3. From my research this is a Flash error that results from a bunch of different things such as cross-domain permissions, wrong file paths, etc. I cannot, however, find any of these issues with our application as this same script works just fine using any other browser/OS combo (even Firefox 3.6 on other OS')

Any insights into this, why this might happen, or anything else? I've been playing with this for hours now and just can't find anything useful...

I got this plugin working, it looks powerful and amazing. However, I'm trying to understand how secure it is. Why couldn't someone get to my /s3_uploads.xml, get a signature, and use it to upload files directly to S3, possibly overwriting other users' files?

Is there something I'm not understanding about how those signatures work? (i.e. that it only generates a valid signature if the request is coming from a swf file on the originating domain name).

This is less an issue with this gem, and more an issue with S3's API, however we can work around it with a fix to the gem.

Basically, AWS's support for renaming/moving files is not what one might expect. Calling rename (at the very least, specifically with AWS::S3, as you do in one of your example gists) actually causes the object to transfered to and from S3. See the note here.

However, it's very common that we might want to upload a file to a temporary location, to prevent name collisions, for example. Additionally, the programmer might just want to be more specific than specifying a prefix for a key.

To allow this, the rails controller should have the ability to inspect the name of the file being uploaded, and generate the name of the S3 key that the file will become at will. It should generate the policy/signature based on this new key name, and then communicate back with the js/flex app, so that the file is uploaded to where it is authorized.

For example, if two files are selected, you first get a callback with the first file in the queue, and then you get a second call with both files in the queue.

While this doesn't matter much in the complex implementation example, where the queue is destroyed and recreated, it does in mine. I am trying to implement an uploader, similar to Gmail's, where the files start uploading immediately after they are selected. When having the onQueueChanged callback call startUploading(), the effect is that only the first file is uploaded.

Hi, I would like to integrate the plugin with my existing Javascript code, how can I force Javascript to click on the "browse files" button? Should I use Flux's ExternalInterface class? Which function should I look into?

Thank you!

I have a case where I HAVE to have the final file name on S3 be a very specific name/format. We are using a version of this code from well over a year ago and the file name on S3 ends up just being the keyPrefix we set during initialization, however; after updating this code couple of days ago we noticed that the file name is now our keyPrefix PLUS the original file name appended to the end. For us this is not something that can be as we have a service that looks for a very specific file name format for our uploads.

I see in S3Signature.as, over a year ago, this snippet of code was touched:

  upload_options.key              = prefixPath + upload_options.FileName;

I am not positive this causes this issue, as I am not too familiar with this code, but it was my best find... Would it be possible to add an initialization option to NOT append the original file name to the end of the final file name?

I assume the version we were previously using, which made the keyPrefix the ENTIRE filename, was deemed to be a bug and changed to this, but we rely on it.

I also see that there is a part of the README now that tells people to do this with the back-end after the upload is complete, but that is super asynchronous, and somewhat kludgy as it can seemingly be done right from this bundle of code... (And, is being done already when the file is created on S3.)

Thanks!

Tested on Safari 4, Chrome 5 and Firefox 3.5.9 with all 3 browsers giving the same error. Tested on both my localhost app and on the demo at http://s3swfuploader.heroku.com/

First, KUDOS for this fork, really amazing !

I got a question, is there a way to change the name of the destination file (on s3) ?
Thanks,

I followed the great tutorial to the letter, and it looks right, but when I ad files they don't show up.

please have a look at: http://furious-ocean-71.heroku.com/ as you can se there is no graphics for the files? I got the same issue on local host.
I have uploaded a version of the demo project here http://sysx.dk/sites/default/files/swfuploader.zip

I'm running rails 3.0.0.
ruby 1.9.2 on localhost and 1.8.7 on heroku.

Files are uploading OK from Heroku but not from localhost?

Clicking on the "Browse" button brings up a file selection dialog box, and clicking "Start Uploading" makes the call to get the credentials, but no other traffic is occuring, nor any ui elements updating or otherwise indicating there's a transfer taking place. I had a packet tracer handy, and watched for traffic between my machine and.. well, anywhere meaningful.. and didn't see a single bit move around.

(osx10.5, FF, Chrome, and Safari, multiple machines, Flash 10.1)

I dunno, I thought maybe it was just something wrong in the demo, so I went step-for-step through the docs and the Vimeo vid (great to see that, BTW) and had the same exact behavior - credentials requested but no transfer. I reproduced this on team-mates laptop (10.6 etc etc)

Am I missing something? :(

I'm having trouble changing one of the headers set in s3_uploads_controller.rb After making the change the upload no longer works.

Specifically line 30

{'Content-Disposition': 'attachment'},

to

{'Content-Disposition': 'attachment; filename=test.jpg'},

I want to see if it's possible to store the keys by their ID in the database rather than the filename, then when they are requested for download by paperclip use the original filename. The explanation can be found here.

I am using Rails 3.1.3 and the plugin loads into a component on page upon an ajax call. It runs fine on my local machine. However when I deploy it on heroku it crashes giving this error. I would be grateful for any kind of help. Thanks !

Not sure if it is both of my setups, mac and pc.... but All of a sudden, my s3-swf stopped working... I checked your demo... it deosn't appear to be working either... Is this just me?

Followed the steps in the README, but the S3UploadsController throws that error.

Hi Nathan,
It looks like there's some bugs on windows XP with IE8 or IE7.
The browse button appears but selecting a file doesn't trigger the "onFileAdd" or "onQueueChange" events.
I thought first it was caused by me but it appears than the demo at s3swfupload.heroku.com doesn't work.
I'm trying to find out why now but if you got an idea ...
I'll let you know if I find something,

Thanks.

Hi, when using this plugin, FireFox does not insert the flash into my html. I do not get eny errors or warnings from the error console, but all that is left in my HTML is a hidden div like this:

<div id="s3_swf_1">
  Please <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Update</a> your Flash Player to Flash v9.0.0 or higher...
</div>

Any idea why this is? What can I do to provide better debugging information and/or resolve this?

using ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3, line 36 of the s3_upload controller would output the error message...

undefined method "&" for "K":String

that made no sense to me, but it must have something to do with the signature file and the method "b64_hmac_sha1"... however i found this snippet in amazon s3 docs that got it working for me...

signature = Base64.encode64(OpenSSL::HMAC.digest(OpenSSL::Digest::Digest.new('sha1'), secret_key, policy)).gsub("\n","")

i've seen similar errors in ruby 1.9 due to a change in the way strings are encoded. just a FYI
