Hi,

Does the Amazon S3 backup method use a secure protocol?

Thanks much,

Not currently. It should be a trivial matter of adding a TRUE as the last parameter of the S3 object constructor on line 176 of destinations.s3.inc. This will need to be tested both on environments that support ssl (with openssl) and on those that do not. If you are willing to do some of this testing please let me know what your results are and I can commit that change to the module.

I can confirm that this works on an environment that supports SSL.

Can anyone confirm if it works in an environment that DOESN'T support SSL. All mine do, but I don't want to cause an error if it's not available.

I think that the S3 implementation should be changed to use AmazonS3 (that uses AWS SDK for PHP)

This way we would have a centralized API for services that use AWS services.

For example on one project I have 3 modules that do 3 different things with AWS services (two for S3, one for Amazon CloudSearch). On another project more AWS services will be used, all are using the same AWS SDK for PHP, so it's kind of really strange to have another library for something already implemented.

Given the number of years since a response from the issue reporter and the fact that many more recent developers are reporting success with AmazonS3 in 2017, I am setting the issue to closed. Please re-open under a current version if needed.
