Status
======

This library is still under early development and considered experimental.

Description
===========

This Lua library is a hmac utility for the ngx_lua nginx module:

Synopsis
========

```lua
    lua_package_path "/path/to/lua-resty-hmac/lib/?.lua;;";

server {
        location /test {
            content_by_lua '
                local hmac = require "resty.hmac"
                local hm, err = hmac:new("SigningKey")
                
                local date = os.date("!%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0000")
                local destination = "/path/to/new/file.txt"
                local StringToSign = "PUT"..string.char(10)..string.char(10)..string.char(10)..date..string.char(10)..destination
                
                local headers, err = hm:generate_headers("AWS", "AccessKeyId", "sha1", StringToSign)
                
                if headers then
                    ngx.say("headers generated")
                else
                    ngx.say(err)
                end
                
                res = ngx.location.capture(
                    "/upload/to/s3/",
                    { method = ngx.HTTP_PUT, body = "Test Upload Content",
                      args = {date = headers.date, auth = headers.auth, file = destination}}
                )
                
                if res.status == 200 then
                    ngx.say("uploaded successfully")
                else
                    ngx.say("upload failed")
                end
            ';
        }
        
        location /upload/to/s3/ {
            internal;
            resolver 8.8.8.8;
            set_unescape_uri $date $arg_date;
            set_unescape_uri $auth $arg_auth;
            set_unescape_uri $file $arg_file;

Methods
=======

All of the commands return either something that evaluates to true on success, or `nil` and an error message on failure.

new
---
`syntax: hm, err = hmac:new("SigningKey")`

Creates a signing object. In case of failures, returns `nil` and a string describing the error.

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)

generate_signature
------------------
`syntax: sig, err = hm:generate_signature(dtype, message, delimiter)`

`syntax: sig, err = hm:generate_signature("sha1", "StringToSign")`

Attempts to sign a message using the algorithm set by dtype and the key set with new(). It can also be called using a table as the message with a delimiter used when concatenating the arguments which defaults to a newline (char 10).

```
local args = {"PUT","/path/to/file/","Wed, 19 Mar 2014 21:45:06 +0000"}
local sig, err = hm:generate_signature("sha1", args)
```

In case of success, returns the signature. In case of errors, returns `nil` with a string describing the error.

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)

check_signature
------------------
`syntax: ok, err = hm:check_signature(dtype, message, delimiter, signature)`

`syntax: ok, err = hm:check_signature("sha1", "StringToSign", nil, "bo1h3498v3")`

Attempts to sign a message and compare it with a precomputed signature.

```
local args = {"PUT","/path/to/file/","Wed, 19 Mar 2014 21:45:06 +0000"}
local ok, err = hm:check_signature("sha1", args, nil, "bo1h3498v3")
```

In case of success, returns `true`. In case of errors, returns `false` with a string describing the error.

generate_headers
------------------
`syntax: headers, err = hm:generate_headers(service, id, dtype, message, delimiter)`

`syntax: headers, err = hm:generate_headers("AWS", "AccessKeyId", "sha1", "StringToSign")`

Attempts to generate the date and an authentication string for use in an auth header.

In case of success, returns a table `{date = date, auth = auth}`. In case of errors, returns `nil` with a string describing the error.

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)

check_headers
------------------
`syntax: ok, err = hm:check_headers(service, id, dtype, message, delimiter, max_time_diff)`

`syntax: ok, err = hm:check_headers("AWS", "AccessKeyId", "sha1", "StringToSign")`

Attempts to sign a message and compare request headers to computed headers.

In case of success, returns `true`. In case of errors, returns `nil` with a string describing the error.

Limitations
===========

* Doesn't support setting which headers to compare against

Installation
============
You can install it with luarocks `luarocks install lua-resty-hmac`

Otherwise you need to configure the lua_package_path directive to add the path of your lua-resty-hmac source tree to ngx_lua's LUA_PATH search path, as in

```nginx
    # nginx.conf
    http {
        lua_package_path "/path/to/lua-resty-hmac/lib/?.lua;;";
        ...
    }
```

This package also requires the luacrypto package to be installed http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/#luacrypto

Ensure that the system account running your Nginx ''worker'' proceses have
enough permission to read the `.lua` file.

Docker
------
I've also made a docker image to make setup of the nginx environment easier. View details here: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/jamesmarlowe/lua-resty-hmac/
```
# install docker according to http://docs.docker.com/installation/

# pull image
sudo docker pull jamesmarlowe/lua-resty-hmac

# make sure it is there
sudo docker images

# run the image
sudo docker run -t -i jamesmarlowe/lua-resty-hmac
```

Testing
=======

Running the tests in t/ is simple once you know whats happening. They use perl's prove and agentzh's test-nginx.

```
sudo apt-get install perl build-essential curl
sudo cpan Test::Nginx
mkdir -p ~/work 
cd ~/work 
git clone https://github.com/agentzh/test-nginx.git 
cd /path/to/lua-resty-hmac/
make test #assumes openresty installed to /usr/bin/openresty/
```
