Aws-sdk-js: How to use putObject and getObject with Transfer Acceleration?

Created on 20 Jul 2017 · 6Comments · Source: aws/aws-sdk-js

If I've enabled Transfer Acceleration on a bucket, do putObject and getObject automatically use it? (I'm assuming these just use XHR POST behind the scenes.. so really, my question is about the REST API)

Once you've enabled transfer acceleration on your bucket, you will need to configure the S3 client from the SDK to use the accelerate endpoint. By default, it is turned off.
We use the same bucket name you specify, but do change the endpoint.

var s3 = new AWS.S3({useAccelerateEndpoint: true});

So it looks like for the bucket name, instead of just supplying 'myBucket', you give it 'myBucket.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com'? Or it just automatically attempts acceleration since useAccelerateEndpoint defaults to true?

Ahh, it is indeed false by default. Thanks for pointing that out!

No problem!

@chrisradek Thank you for posting! Is there documentation for the 'useAccelerateEndpoint' flag? I can't find it on the sdk doc here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html
