Browser support for SigV4A #348

Closed Hasan-Jawaheri closed 2 years ago

Hasan-Jawaheri commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I have a React application targeting browsers and I'm trying to use this part of the AWS SDK: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/tree/main/packages/signature-v4-crt (AWS SigV4A signing). That AWS SDK library doesn't work because it is assuming the native version of this package and using a bunch of exported things that are not exported in the browser dist.

A lot of this package seems to be missing in the browser distribution, the auth.ts file is almost empty: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-crt-nodejs/blob/main/lib/browser/auth.ts compared to the native counterpart: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-crt-nodejs/blob/main/lib/native/auth.ts

I don't know what else is missing, but is the intention that the browser and native distributions both end up with the same interface? Is this a WIP, or am I trying to do something that cannot be supported? Do I have any other options to use SigV4A signing in the browser?

There's no current work in progress for supporting sigv4a in the browser. It is of course possible, but there would need to be a significant business impetus to get the ball rolling.
