Signature/Expires/Access Key ID appearing in URL Params. Django/Boto/S3

Tags:

Thumbnail URLS have params in them. I'm not sure why. I think they related to sorl-thumbnail or boto storage we're using. How do I remove the additional params from the URL? Are they coming from boto/s3 or sorl. I've no idea how to debug.

The extra parameters that are being added are there to implement Query String Authentication. This allows you to pre-sign the URL to private resources stored in S3. As long as someone has the pre-signed URL (and it hasn't expired) they will be able to access these resources even though they are not publicly readable.

Without the extra parameters, there is no way to provide public access to these private S3 resources.
