Is it possible to configure Paperclip to produce HTTPS urls for S3?

Question

I'm using Paperclip to manage user-uploaded images on a site that is served entirely under HTTPS. In order to avoid the silly security warnings on IE7/IE8, I need to also serve these images over SSL. I typically render my images using something like the following:

<%= image_tag @product.image.url(:large) %> 

where

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base    has_attached_file :image,                   :styles => {                       :large => {:geometry => "616x450#"}                   },                   :storage => :s3,                   :s3_credentials => {:access_key_id => "xxx", :secret_access_key => "xxx"},                   :path => ":attachment/:id/:style/:basename.:extension",                   :bucket => CONFIG['s3_media_bucket'],                   :default_url => "/assets/image_missing.png" 

and the image URL produced is something like:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/media.example.com/images/6/large/image123.JPG 

Is there a magic Paperclip option to change this to:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.example.com/images/6/large/image123.JPG 

Answer 1

You simply need to add:

:s3_protocol => :https 

This is covered in the documentation.

There are a few S3-specific options for has_attached_file:
...

• s3_protocol: The protocol for the URLs generated to your S3 assets. Can be either ‘http’ or ‘https’. Defaults to ‘http’ when your :s3_permissions are :public_read (the default), and ‘https’ when your :s3_permissions are anything else.

Answer 2

To update your code just say, add the :s3_protocol as following:

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base has_attached_file :image,               :styles => {                   :large => {:geometry => "616x450#"}               },               :storage => :s3,               :s3_credentials => {:access_key_id => "xxx", :secret_access_key => "xxx"},               :s3_protocol => :https,               :path => ":attachment/:id/:style/:basename.:extension",               :bucket => CONFIG['s3_media_bucket'],               :default_url => "/assets/image_missing.png"
