AcwInterface returns malformed token error

[markbate]

If I call: acw = RightAws::AcwInterface.new(key_goes_here, secret_goes_here) stats = acw.list_metrics

I get:

400 Bad Request

http://monitoring.amazonaws.com/doc/2009-05-15/"> Sender DelegationFailure Malformed token 002b8b87-48bc-11e0-bc36-0542cab5ae1c

This is also the case for AWS' javascript scratchpad (their demo doesn't work). However, if you use the command line tool "mon-list-metrics", it gives you a token, which you can then use to get access to the metrics via right_aws & the javascript scratchpad.

According to https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=42887&tstart=0#167316, users of the Java API were noticing the issue too. This is clearly an AWS bug, which they still haven't fixed, but a work around seems to be setting the user-agent string.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be able to be set in AcwInterface? Any chance we can get this exposed, as the interface is currently unusable.

Hello Mark

There is a way to pass a user-agent:

acw = RightAws::AcwInterface.new(ID, KEY, :connection_options => { :user_agent => 'mozilla'} )

Hi Konstantin,

Sorry, I forgot to reply - it's been a crazy couple of weeks! The :connection_options[:user_agent] seems to do the job perfectly ;p

Thanks, Mark
