Hi Mike,
Thanks for sharing this plugin. We are using plug in to get the documents and display in appian. We are using links(S3URL) for users to download the documents. Looks like currently URL is expiring in 5000 milliseconds. I think time is very short for the user to navigate to download. To overcome this sceanario we used a!refresh function but still the life of the url is short. We have around 10+ docs and URLs need to available for the user to downlaod the pdf;s Please let me know whether any option is increase the expTimeMillis to 5 mins or can we pass expTimeMillis as a parameter to the plugin. Thanks in advance for your help.
baratc I don't have documentation explaining this in detail, but in the plugin description there is a line "It can be used in a WebAPI object to redirect a user from Appian to a resource on S3". That is exactly what you need to do. As you experienced, you cannot generate an S3 link and directly put it on the form as it will expire inside 5s. What you need is a WebAPI that will take in a doc id, validate user access, generate the AWS link and respond with a 302 (redirect). You can then put static links to the web api on your form.
@baratc can u add ur inputs on how have to implemented webapi
Hi Barat, how you had called the WEPAPI from interface which will download the document in single click?
Not sure if that is possible, you may got some help on S3 forums. Since the web api response is a redirect, the extra headers don't do anything.
Thank Mike ! I am able to download file now...but one more challenge i am facing is that I need to rename the file which is being getting download from presigned URL.I try to add extra header
