URL signing examples

Python demo

Example:

import re
import time
import hashlib
import datetime
def md5sum(src):
    m = hashlib.md5()
    m.update(src)
    return m.hexdigest()
# Type A signing
def a_auth(uri, key, exp):
    p = re.compile("^(http://|https://)?([^/?]+)(/[^?]*)?(\\?.*)?$")
    if not p:
        return None
    m = p.match(uri)
    scheme, host, path, args = m.groups()
    if not scheme: scheme = "http://"
    if not path: path = "/"
    if not args: args = ""
    rand = "0"      # "0" by default, other value is ok
    uid = "0"       # "0" by default, other value is ok
    sstring = "%s-%s-%s-%s-%s" %(path, exp, rand, uid, key)
    hashvalue = md5sum(sstring)
    auth_key = "%s-%s-%s-%s" %(exp, rand, uid, hashvalue)
    if args:
        return "%s%s%s%s&auth_key=%s" %(scheme, host, path, args, auth_key)
    else:
        return "%s%s%s%s?auth_key=%s" %(scheme, host, path, args, auth_key)
# Type B signing
def b_auth(uri, key, exp):
    p = re.compile("^(http://|https://)?([^/?]+)(/[^?]*)?(\\?.*)?$")
    if not p:
        return None
    m = p.match(uri)
    scheme, host, path, args = m.groups()
    if not scheme: scheme = "http://"
    if not path: path = "/"
    if not args: args = ""
    # convert unix timestamp to "YYmmDDHHMM" format
    nexp = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(exp).strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M')
    sstring = key + nexp + path
    hashvalue = md5sum(sstring)
    return "%s%s/%s/%s%s%s" %(scheme, host, nexp, hashvalue, path, args)
# Type C signing
def c_auth(uri, key, exp):
    p = re.compile("^(http://|https://)?([^/?]+)(/[^?]*)?(\\?.*)?$")
    if not p:
        return None
    m = p.match(uri)
    scheme, host, path, args = m.groups()
    if not scheme: scheme = "http://"
    if not path: path = "/"
    if not args: args = ""
    hexexp = "%x" %exp
    sstring = key + path + hexexp
    hashvalue = md5sum(sstring)
    return "%s%s/%s/%s%s%s" %(scheme, host, hashvalue, hexexp, path, args)
# The following code block shows the values to the uri, key, and exp parameters:
def main():
    uri = "http://example.aliyundoc.com/ping?foo=bar"            # original uri
    key = "<input private key>"                         # private key of authorization
    exp = int(time.time()) + 1 * 3600                   # expiration time: 1 hour after current itme
# "1 * 3600" specifies the time-to-live (TTL) value that the signing server assigns to signed URLs. You can specify a value as needed. Unit: seconds. The TTL value assigned by the signing server is irrelevant to the TTL value assigned by Alibaba Cloud CDN. 
# Validity period of a signed URL = UNIX timestamp generated on the singing server + TTL assigned by the signing server + TTL assigned by Alibaba Cloud CDN.
# For type A signing, if the UNIX timestamp generated on the signing server is 1444435200, the TTL value assigned by the signing server is 3600, and the TTL value assigned by Alibaba Cloud CDN is 1800, the validity period of the URL is 1444440600 (1444435200 + 3600 + 1800).
# The following example implements type A signing:
authuri = a_auth(uri, key, exp)                     # auth type: a_auth / b_auth / c_auth
    print("URL : %s\nAUTH: %s" %(uri, authuri))

    main()
