ECS 3.6.2 Data Access Guide

Using s3curl with ECS

A modified version of s3curl is required for use with ECS.

When using ECS custom headers (x-emc), the signature element of the Authorization header must be constructed to include the custom headers. In addition,

• When connecting to ECS 3.0 and later, the search and searchmetadata parameters are part of the signature computation.
• When connecting to ECS 3.5.0.2 and later, the x-amz-date parameter is part of the signature computation.

You can obtain an ECS-specific version of s3curl that is modified to handle these conditions from the EMCECS Git Repository.
