+go-aws-auth
+===========
+
+[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/smartystreets/go-aws-auth?status.svg)](http://godoc.org/github.com/smartystreets/go-aws-auth)
+
+Go-AWS-Auth is a comprehensive, lightweight library for signing requests to Amazon Web Services.
+
+It's easy to use: simply build your HTTP request and call `awsauth.Sign(req)` before sending your request over the wire.
+
+
+
+### Supported signing mechanisms
+
+- [Signed Signature Version 2](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-2.html)
+- [Signed Signature Version 3](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signing_aws_api_requests.html)
+- [Signed Signature Version 4](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html)
+- [Custom S3 Authentication Scheme](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAuthentication.html)
+- [Security Token Service](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html)
+- [S3 Query String Authentication](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAuthentication.html#RESTAuthenticationQueryStringAuth)
+- [IAM Role](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html#instance-metadata-security-credentials)
+
+For more info about AWS authentication, see the [comprehensive docs](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signing_aws_api_requests.html) at AWS.
+
+
+### Install
+
+Go get it:
+
+	$ go get github.com/smartystreets/go-aws-auth
+	
+Then import it:
+
+	import "github.com/smartystreets/go-aws-auth"
+
+
+### Using your AWS Credentials
+
+The library looks for credentials in this order:
+
+1. **Hard-code:** You can manually pass in an instance of `awsauth.Credentials` to any call to a signing function as a second argument:
+
+	```go
+	awsauth.Sign(req, awsauth.Credentials{
+		AccessKeyID: "Access Key ID", 
+		SecretAccessKey: "Secret Access Key",
+		SecurityToken: "Security Token",	// STS (optional)
+	})
+	```
+
+
+2. **Environment variables:** Set the `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` environment variables with your credentials. The library will automatically detect and use them. Optionally, you may also set the `AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN` environment variable if you are using temporary credentials from [STS](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html).
+
+3. **IAM Role:** If running on EC2 and the credentials are neither hard-coded nor in the environment, go-aws-auth will detect the first IAM role assigned to the current EC2 instance and use those credentials.
+
+(Be especially careful hard-coding credentials into your application if the code is committed to source control.)
+
+
+
+### Signing requests
+
+Just make the request, have it signed, and perform the request as you normally would.
+
+```go
+url := "https://iam.amazonaws.com/?Action=ListRoles&Version=2010-05-08"
+client := new(http.Client)
+
+req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)
+
+awsauth.Sign(req)  // Automatically chooses the best signing mechanism for the service
+
+resp, err := client.Do(req)
+```
+
+You can use `Sign` to have the library choose the best signing algorithm depending on the service, or you can specify it manually if you know what you need:
+
+- `Sign2`
+- `Sign3`
+- `Sign4`
+- `SignS3` (deprecated for Sign4)
+- `SignS3Url` (for pre-signed S3 URLs; GETs only)
+
+
+
+### Contributing
+
+Please feel free to contribute! Bug fixes are more than welcome any time, as long as tests assert correct behavior. If you'd like to change an existing implementation or see a new feature, open an issue first so we can discuss it. Thanks to all contributors!
