Django storage s3 media url is https:// instead of http://
amazon-s3, django, django-storage
Solution
I would try adding this property to your settings:
AWS_S3_SECURE_URLS = False
It doesn't look like it's documented after a brief glance at the django-storages docs, but this blog talks about it a bit more. http://www.eliotk.net/05/30/force-http-with-django-storages-and-s3boto/
Problem
When serving media with django-storage s3, the media url that is being generated is something like this: ``` https://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/myimage.jpg?Signature=5ifoyLqzmtfVNS1ovfzVvN92RH0%3D&Expires=1363124819&AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ7ZTU7K4SPYKGOFA ``` Causing the images to not be displayed because of https: ``` You attempted to reach mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as *.s3.amazonaws.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com. ``` I need the images to be served as HTTP not HTTPS My settings are: ``` DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage' AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "AKIAJ....K4SPYKGOFA" AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "2Y7G98JoCRzAEp....rPoCjWZuwDaQ" AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = "mybucket" ``` I tried set the media_url, and s3_url to normal http, but it didn't change anything. I'm using django 1.5
