Paperclip is missing the Protocol (https) with Amazon S3

Question

In production.rb:

config.paperclip_defaults = {
    s3_host_name: \"s3.#{ENV.fetch(\'AWS_REGION\')}.amazonaws.com\",
    storage: :s3,
    s3_credentials: {
         


        

Answer 1

You need to specify the scheme on paperclip configuration as below:

config.paperclip_defaults = {
      s3_host_name: "s3.#{ENV.fetch('AWS_REGION')}.amazonaws.com",
      storage: :s3,
      :s3_protocol => :https, # <- added this
      s3_credentials: {
          bucket: ENV.fetch('S3_BUCKET_NAME'),
          access_key_id: ENV.fetch('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
          secret_access_key: ENV.fetch('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
          s3_region: ENV.fetch('AWS_REGION'),
      }
  }

:s3_protocol => :https will assign the scheme https to the url's generated for your amazon s3 assets. Refer to documentation for more details.
