Curl like tool with AWS Signature Version 4 request signing.


## Overview

$ pip install awscurl
```

#### Installation from source (bleeding edge)
```sh
$ pip install git+https://github.com/okigan/awscurl
```

#### Installation via Docker
Assumes Docker is installed and the working directory is project root of the cloned repo. Result will be an image named `$USER/awscurl`.

```sh
$ docker build --rm -t $USER/awscurl .
```

On OS X run via a shell script in your $PATH or directly with something like the following:

```sh
#!/bin/bash

uri

Curl AWS request signing If an arg is specified in more than one place, then
command-line values override environment variables which override defaults.

positional arguments:
uri

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose verbose flag (default: False)
-X REQUEST, --request REQUEST
Specify request command to use (default: GET)
-d DATA, --data DATA HTTP POST data (default: )
-H HEADER, --header HEADER
HTTP POST data (default: None)
--region REGION AWS region (default: us-east-1)
--profile PROFILE [env var: AWS_PROFILE] (default: default)
--service SERVICE AWS service (default: execute-api)
--access_key ACCESS_KEY

--security_token SECURITY_TOKEN
[env var: AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN] (default: None)

```

If you do not specify the `--access_key` or `--secret_key`
(or environment variables), `awscurl` will attempt to use
the credentials you set in `~/.aws/credentials`. If you
do not specify a `--profile` or `AWS_PROFILE`, `awscurl`
uses `default`.
