A bash script to interact with the AWS REST API. Sends requests authenticated with AWS Signature Version 4.

$ ./request.sh URL [AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID [AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY [AWS_REGION]]]

When AWS variables are not passed as arguments, the script uses environment variables:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_REGION

AWS_REGION defaults to 'us-east-1' in the absence of both command line arg and env var.

• bash
• perl
• OpenSSL

Currently only handles GET requests to s3 endoints. Trivial to modify. Payload variable exists already. No reason to restrict script to s3.
