Internet Archive strives to make IAS3 compatible with current Amazon S3 client code. Ideally running the following command–replacing amazonaws.com with us.archive.org–on your S3 client code would allow you to use IAS3 with no further changes necessary:
perl -pi -e 's/amazonaws.com/us.archive.org/g' *
Some Amazon S3 clients obey configuration files, many of will will allow you to define the preferred S3 hostname. Setting this hostname to s3.us.archive.org in the configuration file should allow the client code to upload to Internet Archive with no further changes.
For instance, adding the following to your ~/.s3cfg configuration file for s3cmd, a popular Amazon S3 client, will allow you to connect to IAS3:
[default]
access_key = YOUR-ACCESS-KEY
secret_key = YOUR-SECRET-KEY
host_base = s3.us.archive.org
host_bucket = %(bucket)s.s3.us.archive.org
The access_key and secret_key are available on your Internet Archive patron record.
