S3 Appears to Work
I tried the example code, in Python & Ruby, for Amazon's new S3 (Simple Storage Service). Had to change data.length to data.length.to_s() in s3-test.rb (the Ruby test routine) in order to avoid an error of trying to call to_str on a fixnum.
It took me a while last night to make the Python example work. I was running it from my Puppy Linux installation, and was getting an error on creating a bucket. The problem was that my timezone was set incorrectly, and S3 was complaining about too much clock skew. Once I figured out how to print the message in the response I got, I fixed it pretty quickly.
I grabbed the S3 buckets: billstclair, god, God, & one other that I'm not telling about.
Yep. I'm God in S3. Hehe.
