A small Node.js utility to generate an HMAC signature to authorize AWS API requests.
For more details about signing AWS requests, see the AWS docs.
Special thanks to Robert Kehoe for providing a clear example from which this utility is derived.
npm install aws-hmac --save
aws_access_id = "ramhiser"
aws_secret_key = "FLUFFY BUNNIES"
var aws_hmac = require("aws-hmac");
aws_signature = aws_hmac.generate_signature(aws_access_id, aws_secret_key);
console.log(aws_signature);
