ELB new - issue passing in :region as aws param

[danmiley]

When passing in a region in the constructor args (anything other than us-east) the server name doesnt resolve correctly, instead we see a double reference of the prefix. e.g. Opening new HTTPS connection to us-east-1.us-east-1.ec2.amazonaws.com:443
Note duplication of us-east-1 subdomain.

any help would be much appreciated! or advise as to how to effectively reference a specific, non-default region when attempting to access a given ELB. The examples all seem to be oriented towards the default region us-east, since a region param is never set. The region param approach as below works fine for ELB rightscale instances. thanks!

details:

I am using current right_aws gem within a capistrano script context.

given this ruby code:

       set :aws_params, :region => 'us-west-1' 

       print 'params =' + fetch(:aws_params).to_s

     @elb_api ||= RightAws::ElbInterface.new(fetch(:aws_access_key_id), fetch(:aws_secret_access_key), fetch(:aws_params, {})

    print @elb_api.describe_load_balancers.to_s 

I get the following. , [2011-11-03T12:23:24.744988 #5478] INFO -- : New RightAws::Ec2 using shared connections mode

Do not include "us-east-1" in :server, and in fact try not to specify the server at all if you are specifying region.

a=RightAws::ElbInterface.new(nil, nil, :region => 'us-west-1'); a.describe_load_balancers

a=RightAws::ElbInterface.new(nil, nil, :region => 'us-west-1',:server=>"ec2.amazonaws.com"); a.describe_load_balancers

Rich Meyers is right. The correct ways are:

elb = RightAws::ElbInterface.new(nil,nil, :server => 'us-west-1.elasticloadbalancing.amazonaws.com')

elb = RightAws::ElbInterface.new(nil,nil, :region => 'us-west-1', :server => 'elasticloadbalancing.amazonaws.com')

elb = RightAws::ElbInterface.new(nil,nil, :region => 'us-west-1')

Thanks, guys, for the clarification. Works like a charm here.
