fix(s3): valid direct serve pre-signed URLs for alternate hosts - #671
Fix for pre-signed URLs when using different internal/public hostnames.
In my case, I'm hosting git-pkgs/proxy in Upcloud and using their S3-compatible offering. I've got pkgs.example.com, a public s3.example.com host, and a abc123-private.upcloudobjects.com internal S3 host.
Expected results: direct serve returns valid/functional pre-signed URLs for host s3.example.com
Actual results: direct serve returns mismatched pre-signed URLs for host abc123-private.upcloudobjects.com
Fix:
Create a second gocloud.Bucket for the direct serve hostname (if set) and use it exclusively for generating presigned URLs (if direct serve enabled).
Caveats:
Azure/GCS don't use the Host in their (current) signing approaches, so weren't affected by this.
Testing:
I built & used an image with this and direct serve is now working as expected, with git-pkgs/proxy accessing object storage via the private endpoint and returning redirects to URLs that are pre-signed for the public host and work properly.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Signed download links can use a configured client-facing endpoint while retaining the object path and query.
S3 links are signed for the configured scheme and host; GCS and Azure links use the configured host after signing.
Without a configured endpoint, existing link behavior remains unchanged.
Documentation
Clarified host requirements for signed URLs, including the bucket hostname required for virtual-hosted S3 addressing.
When direct serving is enabled and a base URL is configured, the server passes it to storage as a signing endpoint. Storage applies backend-specific signing behavior. Cache-hit redirects use the storage-signed URL directly.
Changes: Direct-serving URL signing
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Add storage signing endpoint support internal/storage/blob.go, internal/storage/blob_test.go, internal/storage/gcs.go, internal/storage/gcs_test.go, go.mod
OpenBucket accepts an optional signing endpoint. S3 presign requests use the configured scheme and host before signing. Other backends rewrite the signed URL’s scheme and host after signing. Tests cover S3, Azure, and GCS endpoint behavior. AWS SDK dependencies are updated.
Wire signing into direct serving internal/server/server.go, internal/server/server_test.go, config.example.yaml, internal/config/config.go
Server setup passes the configured base URL as a signing endpoint when direct serving is enabled. A server test checks the resulting S3 signed URL host. Configuration comments describe the backend-specific signing behavior.
Return the storage-signed URL internal/handler/handler.go, internal/handler/handler_test.go, internal/handler/profile.go, internal/handler/profile_test.go
Cache-hit redirects return the storage-signed URL directly. The proxy base URL field and URL-rewriting helper are removed, along with their tests. Cooldown copying no longer includes the removed field.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to bb6fb
Direct-serve redirects now use URLs signed for the configured public host, and the change has storage-level and server-level test coverage. No actionable merge-blocking risk was found.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to bb6fb
The reviewed changes preserve existing credentials, object keys, GET-only access and URL lifetimes. No introduced security concern was established. Public endpoint routing must match the newly signed hostname, and production routing and backend validation remain unverified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The affected population is cached artifacts eligible for direct serving in the configured storage backend. Each issued Blob URL retains the selected object path, GET method and requested expiry; the change does not add a write-signing operation.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The signing hostname is operator-controlled configuration validated for an absolute URL. The S3 rewrite is gated on the presign middleware and changes only request scheme and host, retaining the existing credential configuration and object path. Absolute-URL validation does not enforce HTTPS.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The added S3 tests include signature recomputation against the returned host and explicit path-style and virtual-hosted cases. Azure and GCS tests check public-host rewriting and signature presence, but do not establish live backend acceptance. These tests were inspected, not executed.

Clarify backend support for direct_serve_base_url.
The setting currently affects only S3. GCS and Azure users may expect a public URL but receive the backend URL instead.
For S3, document that the public endpoint must reach the same bucket with the configured path style. A reverse proxy must preserve the signed Host header.

Sign for the configured public host
With virtual-host addressing, the signing bucket prepends the bucket name to direct_serve_base_url. A CDN configured only for the specified host can therefore reject cached-artifact redirects.
Sign for the exact configured host while preserving the existing object path and addressing behavior.

Thanks, the approach works. I read it against aws-sdk-go-v2 service/s3 v1.111.0 and gocloud v0.47.0: the middleware runs right before the presign signer and only on presign calls, and the test recomputes the signature for the public host. The branch merges cleanly with main. The Windows failure was a lost runner; the re-run passed.
A few points before merging:
This changes behaviour for existing S3 setups. Until now the URL was signed for the storage host, and config.example.yaml told users to make the reverse proxy forward the internal Host header. A setup built that way (nginx with proxy_set_header Host minio:9000, or a CDN in front of AWS S3 that sends the bucket host to the origin) gets SignatureDoesNotMatch after this change. @andrew, you added the setting in 1ad1827: is signing for the public host what you want for S3, or should it be a switch?
Docs. The Host header note was removed from config.example.yaml without a replacement. It should say that for S3 the URL is now signed for this host, so the server behind it must receive that Host header. The comment on DirectServeBaseURL in internal/config/config.go still describes the rewrite after signing.
go.mod.github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2, github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/s3 and github.com/aws/smithy-go are imported directly now but still marked // indirect. go mod tidy moves them.
PR description. It still describes a second bucket; the code now adds a middleware to the same client.
Thanks both. On the first question: signing for the public host is what I want for S3, with no switch. The old requirement that the reverse proxy forward the internal Host header was a workaround, and direct_serve_base_url should produce a URL that validates at the host it names. Setups built on the old advice will need to stop rewriting Host, which I will call out in the release notes.
I pushed bb6fb2b to the branch: it merges main, rewrites the direct_serve_base_url text in config.example.yaml and the DirectServeBaseURL comment in internal/config/config.go to describe the new behaviour (including that virtual-hosted addressing needs the bucket hostname), and runs go mod tidy so the AWS modules are direct dependencies.

Fix for pre-signed URLs when using different internal/public hostnames.
In my case, I'm hosting git-pkgs/proxy in Upcloud and using their S3-compatible offering. I've got
pkgs.example.com, a publics3.example.comhost, and aabc123-private.upcloudobjects.cominternal S3 host.Settings:
direct_serve: truedirect_serve_base_url: "https://s3.example.com"url: "s3://pkgs-proxy?endpoint=https://abc123-private.upcloudobjects.com®ion=us-1&use_path_style=true"Expected results: direct serve returns valid/functional pre-signed URLs for host
s3.example.comActual results: direct serve returns mismatched pre-signed URLs for host
abc123-private.upcloudobjects.comFix:
Create a second
gocloud.Bucketfor the direct serve hostname (if set) and use it exclusively for generating presigned URLs (if direct serve enabled).Caveats:
Azure/GCS don't use the Host in their (current) signing approaches, so weren't affected by this.
Testing:
I built & used an image with this and direct serve is now working as expected, with git-pkgs/proxy accessing object storage via the private endpoint and returning redirects to URLs that are pre-signed for the public host and work properly.
