Calling a cURL from Aware

RLOMASKY

When a user uploads a picture into a "Picture" field in a business object, I'd also like to copy that image to S3 using cURL. Is it possible to call it?

I am not familiar with cURL. If it's a third party software that exposes some API you can write a plugin to do it. If it's an external process that can be run from a command line then you can probably start it using the EXECUTE action of the Rule Language

I would be very interested to learn how you go with this, please report back about your success with:

using CURL
writing to S3

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you can do this with a plugin (plus a little bit of bash and curl).

If im not too busy tomorrow, i'll have bash during my lunch break to see for myself.

I have a plugin that does something similar, so hopefully it wont take that much time to modify.

"you guys" say "write a plugin" a lot 🙂
for the rest of us, writing a JAVA plugin isn't so easy.

Rachel,
1) can YOU do this already outside of aware? (ie. from command line or with some other tool, etc.)
2) do you already have a way to calc the Auth string AWS needs? (hashing, etc.)
3) is what you're asking for a simple, already done packaged way to this? ... or are you doing the heavy work?
4) Is there a reason you picked cURL?

Hi,

Yes. It's just a standard UNIX command line tool.
Yes, I can make that.
Very, very simple. If the file existed on my disk, I could do it with just one command in bash.
That's the simplest of the tools.

I've used S3Express before, but that was on windows. That made it really easy.
Haven't used aware do execute simple command line stuff but since you've already got the hashing/auth key stuff worked out, i'm sure you can do it. Post your success when you've finished!

So the short answer is 'Yes'.

cURL and S3 can live happily with AwareIM via a plugin. I still need to clean up a few things however it seems to work fine.

The longer answer is proven with the verbose result (removed ID from the output).

Hi,

Thanks for your help. What kind of plugin? Sorry, still a newbie.

Thanks,
