I'm having issues with creating a publicly readable bucket. I'm working in a CEPH / Rados store using the Amazon aws-sdk v 1.60.2
I created a bucket similar to many different tutorials with
s3.buckets.create('bucketName', :acl => :public_read)
I then uploaded a number of files up to s3.buckets['bucketName'] But when I go in and look at specific permissions for the bucket and it's internal objects the bucket I see has READ permissions granted to AllUsers group as well as FULL_CONTROL set to the user I created the bucket with. The objects however do not inherit the anonymous read permissions. I need the objects in the bucket to be readable anonymously.
As a note I see these permissions when I run s3.buckets['bucketName'].acl. When I try to run s3.buckets['bucketName'].policy I get the following error that makes no sense:
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/json-1.8.3/lib/json/common.rb:155:in `parse': 757: unexpected token at '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ListBucketResult xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/"><Name>erik.test</Name><Prefix></Prefix><Marker></Marker><MaxKeys>1000</MaxKeys><IsTruncated>false</IsTruncated></ListBucketResult>' (JSON::ParserError)
from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/json-1.8.3/lib/json/common.rb:155:in `parse'
from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/aws-sdk-v1-1.60.2/lib/aws/core/policy.rb:146:in `from_json'
from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/aws-sdk-v1-1.60.2/lib/aws/s3/bucket.rb:621:in `policy'
from test.rb:20:in `<main>'
The above error looks like aws-sdk is calling a json parser on an XML string which shouldn't be happening.
I cannot simply upload the objects with explicit permissions because my project would have BOSH uploading to the store automatically.
Unfortunately policies are inherited, so while it is possible to read the list of objects in a bucket, as it stands the anonymous read permission doesn't continue for the items uploaded.
