awsv4-cpp
A c++11 implementation of awsv4 signature version 4 signing process
For more information on this process, please see
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html
This library will produce the "signature" that can be used to complete other authorized requests for AWS.
This library uses openssl, Poco and boost. I developed this on debian unstable.
Unfortunately I don't know how these dependencies will be available on non-debian
systems, so please tune the Makefile as you see fit.
The main.cpp is a basic test suite that uses the sample data available at
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/sigv4_signing.html
and produces the output as shown in the AWS docs. Each AWS service seems to have its own unique needs with regard to authorization - I hope to add more to this library over time and make it more useful for specific services.
