Input/output error when running ls

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is likely a duplicate of issue #47.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. /bin/mkdir /mnt/s3
2. /usr/local/bin/s3fs new.shrub.ca -o "url=https://s3.amazonaws.com" /mnt/s3
3. ls -l /mnt/s3

What is the expected output? 
Regular ls output.

What do you see instead?
root@green:/usr/local/bin# ls -l /mnt/s3
ls: cannot access /mnt/s3/boot: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /mnt/s3/data: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /mnt/s3/dev: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /mnt/s3/etc: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /mnt/s3/home: Input/output error

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
s3fs r177
Ubuntu 8.10 (kernel 2.6.27-11-generic)

Please provide any additional information below.
- My clock time is correct (I checked with ntpdate) -- time is in EDT
- I can see the files as expected with Transmit on my Mac
- Newly created files -- those created after mounting -- appear as expected.
- No errors are recorded in /var/log/messages
- If I try s3fs -f, the program appears to hang; normally it exits within one 
second

This issue affects me as well (Ubuntu 9.10 on EC2).  Error only occurs if 
"url=https://s3.amazonaws.com" is used in fstab or on mount.

Ok, looks like a patch for this bug has been made by f3rrix in issue 85:
http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=85

You can download his patch in that thread.  If you don't know how to patch 
s3fs, you can manually fix this problem by:

download s3fs

untar the file

edit s3fs.cpp

go to line 289

erase this line:
url_str = url_str.substr(0,7) + bucket + "." + url_str.substr(7,bucket_pos - 7) 
 + url_str.substr((bucket_pos + bucket_size));

add these lines:
int clipBy = 7;
if(!strncasecmp(url_str.c_str(), "https://", 8))
       {
               clipBy = 8;
       }
       url_str = url_str.substr(0,clipBy) + bucket + "." + url_str.substr(clipBy,bucket_pos - clipBy)  + url_str.substr((bucket_pos + bucket_size));

Save and exit the file.

make install

And presto!  Your S3 drive will now work when you mount it by https!

Major thanks to f3rrix for figuring this one out!
