S3 Web Provider¶

The S3 web provider provides read-only access to data pushed to a S3 remote, using the HTTP terface. It is designed to make it easy to share public data without needing AWS credentials of any kind. The URI format is:

s3web://<bucket-url>[:port]/<path>

The format of the data must match that pushed by the S3 Provider. The bucket URL can be anything, including DNS aliases or cloud front distributions sitting in front of the bucket. The only requirement is that HTTP GET is supported for objects beneath the path.
