        Service (S3), Simple Notification Service (SNS), Simple Queue Service (SQS),
        Storage Gateway, Security Token Service (STS)
        
        The following services do not support AWS auth version 4 and are not usable
        with this package:
        
        Simple Email Service (SES), Simple Workflow Service (SWF), Import/Export,
        SimpleDB, DevPay, Mechanical Turk
        
        The AWS Support API has not been tested as it requires a premium subscription.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        Install via pip:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ pip install requests-aws4auth
        
        requests-aws4auth requires the `Requests`_ library by Kenneth Reitz.
        
        requests-aws4auth is tested on Python 2.7 and 3.3 and up.
        
        Behaviour changes in 0.8
        ------------------------
        Version 0.8 introduces request date checking and automatic key regeneration
        behaviour as default. This has implications for sharing authentication objects
        between threads, and for storage of secret keys. See the relevant sections
        below for details. See also the discussion in `GitHub issue #10`_.
        
        .. _GitHub issue #10: https://github.com/sam-washington/requests-aws4auth/issues/10
        
        Basic usage
        -----------
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> import requests
            >>> from requests_aws4auth import AWS4Auth
            >>> endpoint = 'http://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com'
            >>> auth = AWS4Auth('<ACCESS ID>', '<ACCESS KEY>', 'eu-west-1', 's3')
            >>> response = requests.get(endpoint, auth=auth)
            >>> response.text
            <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
                <ListAllMyBucketsResult xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01">
                    <Owner>
                    <ID>bcaf1ffd86f461ca5fb16fd081034f</ID>
                    <DisplayName>webfile</DisplayName>
                    ...
        
        This example would list your buckets in the ``eu-west-1`` region of the Amazon
        S3 service.
        
        STS Temporary Credentials
        -------------------------
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> from requests_aws4auth import AWS4Auth
            >>> auth = AWS4Auth('<ACCESS ID>', '<ACCESS KEY>', 'eu-west-1', 's3',
                                session_token='<SESSION TOKEN>')
            ...
        
        This example shows how to construct an AWS4Auth object for use with STS
        temporary credentials. The ``x-amz-security-token`` header is added with
        the session token. Temporary credential timeouts are not managed -- in
        case the temporary credentials expire, they need to be re-generated and
        the AWS4Auth object re-constructed with the new credentials.
        
        Date handling
        -------------
        If an HTTP request to be authenticated contains a ``Date`` or ``X-Amz-Date``
        header, AWS will only accept the authorised request if the date in the header
        matches the scope date of the signing key (see the `AWS REST API date docs`_).
        
        .. _AWS REST API date docs: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/sigv4-date-handling.html).
        
        From version 0.8 of requests-aws4auth, if the header date does not match the
        scope date, an ``AWS4Auth`` instance will automatically regenerate its signing
        key, using the same scope parameters as the previous key except for the date,
        which will be changed to match the request date. If a request does not include
        a date, the current date is added to the request in an ``X-Amz-Date`` header,
        and the signing key is regenerated if this differs from the scope date.
        
        This means that ``AWS4Auth`` now extracts and parses dates from the values of
        ``X-Amz-Date`` and ``Date`` headers. Supported date formats are:
        
        * RFC 7231 (e.g. Mon, 09 Sep 2011 23:36:00 GMT)
        * RFC 850 (e.g. Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT)
        * C time (e.g. Wed Dec 4 00:00:00 2002)
        * Amz-Date format (e.g. 20090325T010101Z)
        * ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 (e.g. 2009-03-25T10:11:12.13-01:00)
        
        If either header is present but ``AWS4Auth`` cannot extract a date because all
        present date headers are in an unrecognisable format, ``AWS4Auth`` will delete
        any ``X-Amz-Date`` and ``Date`` headers present and replace with a single
        ``X-Amz-Date`` header containing the current date. This behaviour can be
        modified using the ``raise_invalid_date`` keyword argument of the ``AWS4Auth``
        constructor.
        
        Automatic key regeneration
        --------------------------
        If you do not want the signing key to be automatically regenerated when a
        mismatch between the request date and the scope date is encountered, use the
        alternative ``StrictAWS4Auth`` class, which is identical to ``AWS4Auth`` except
        that upon encountering a date mismatch it just raises a ``DateMismatchError``.
        You can also use the ``PassiveAWS4Auth`` class, which mimics the ``AWS4Auth``
        behaviour prior to version 0.8 and just signs and sends the request, whether
        the date matches or not. In this case it is up to the calling code to handle an
        authentication failure response from AWS caused by the date mismatch.
        
        Secret key storage
        ------------------
        To allow automatic key regeneration, the secret key is stored in the
        ``AWS4Auth`` instance, in the signing key object. If you do not want this to
        occur, instantiate the instance using an ``AWS4Signing`` key which was created
        with the store_secret_key parameter set to False:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> sig_key = AWS4SigningKey(secret_key, region, service, date, False)
            >>> auth = StrictAWS4Auth(access_id, sig_key)
        
        The ``AWS4Auth`` class will then raise a ``NoSecretKeyError`` when it attempts
        to regenerate its key. A slightly more conceptually elegant way to handle this
        is to use the alternative ``StrictAWS4Auth`` class, again instantiating it with
        an ``AWS4SigningKey`` instance created with ``store_secret_key = False``.
        
        Multithreading
        --------------
        If you share ``AWS4Auth`` (or even ``StrictAWS4Auth``) instances between
        threads you are likely to encounter problems. Because ``AWS4Auth`` instances
        may unpredictably regenerate their signing key as part of signing a request,
        threads using the same instance may find the key changed by another thread
        halfway through the signing process, which may result in undefined behaviour.
        
        It may be possible to rig up a workable instance sharing mechanism using
        locking primitives and the ``StrictAWS4Auth`` class, however this poor author
        can't think of a scenario which works safely yet doesn't suffer from at some
        point blocking all threads for at least the duration of an HTTP request, which
        could be several seconds. If several requests come in in close succession which
        all require key regenerations then the system could be forced into serial
        operation for quite a length of time.
        
        In short, it's probably best to create a thread-local instance of ``AWS4Auth``
        for each thread that needs to do authentication.
        
        API reference
        -------------
        See the doctrings in ``aws4auth.py`` and ``aws4signingkey.py``.
        
        Testing
        -------
        A test suite is included in the test folder. 
        
        The package passes all tests in the AWS auth v4 `test_suite`_, and contains
        tests against the supported live services. See docstrings in 
        ``test/requests_aws4auth_test.py`` for details about running the tests.
        
        Connection parameters are included in the tests for the AWS Support API, should
        you have access and want to try it. The documentation says it supports auth v4
        so it should work if you have a subscription. Do pass on your results!
        
        .. _test_suite: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-v4-test-suite.html
        
        Unsupported AWS features / todo
        -------------------------------
        * Currently does not support Amazon S3 chunked uploads
        * Tests for new AWS services
        * Requires Requests library to be present even if only using AWS4SigningKey
        * Coherent documentation

        0.8 (2015-12-31)
        ++++++++++++++++
        
        This version introduces some behaviour changes designed to reduce the legwork
        needed when a signing key goes out of date. This has implications for
        multithreading and secret key storage. See the README for further details.
        
        **New features**
        
        - AWS4Auth class now checks request header date against signing key scope
          date, and automatically regenerates the signing key with the request
          date if they don't match
        - Added exceptions module with new exceptions: RequestsAWS4AuthException,
          DateMismatchError, NoSecretKeyError, DateFormatError
        - Added StrictAWS4Auth and PassiveAWS4Auth classes
        
        **AWS4Auth changes**
        
        - Added regenerate_signing_key() method, to allow regeneration of
          current signing key with parameter overrides
        - Added methods for checking and extracting dates from requests:
          get_request_date(), parse_date(), handle_date_mismatch()
        - __call__() now checks for a date header in the request and attempts
          to automatically regenerate the signing key with the request date if
          request date differs from the signing key date
        - Can now supply a date to the constructor
        - Changed default included sig headers to include 'Date' header if
          present
        
        **AWS4SigningKey changes**
        
        - Added new store_secret_key instantiation parameter which allows
          control of whether the secret key is stored in the instance
        - Deprecated the amz_date property in favour of just 'date'
        - Spelling typo fix in AWS4AuthSigningKey module docstring. Thanks
          to jhgorrell
        
        **Package changes**
        
        - Dropped support for Python 3.2. Now only supported on Python 2.7 and 3.3 and
          up, to match versions supported by Requests.
        
        **Tests**
        
        - Many new tests for the new functionality
        - Added tests for generating canonical path, including test for fix
          added in 0.7 for percent encoding of paths
        - Added tests for generating canonical querystrings
        
        
        0.7 (2015-11-02)
        ++++++++++++++++
        
        **Bugfixes**
        
        - Fixed percent encoded characters in URL paths not being encoded again
          for signature generation, as is expected for all services except S3.
          This was causing authentication failures whenever these characters
          appeared in a URL. Thanks to ipartola and cristi23 for the report.
        
        - Two bugfixes for ElasticSearch, thanks to Matthew Thompson for both:
          * No longer setting body to b'' during signing if it's None
          * Now stripping port from URL netloc for signature generation
        
        **Modules**
        
        - Upgraded the included version of six.py to 1.10
        
        **Tests**
        
        - Fixed a couple of broken Unicode tests on Python 2
        
        - Added a couple more tests for encoding Unicode request bodies
        
        
        0.6 (2015-09-07)
        ++++++++++++++++
        
        **Bugfixes**
        
        - Included HISTORY.rst in built package to fix pip source install failure.
          Thanks to Beirdo for the bug report.
        
        
        0.5 (2015-04-29)
        ++++++++++++++++
        
        **Bugfixes**
        
        - Fixed bug when uploading to S3 with x-amz-acl header which caused
          authentication failure - headers used in signature are now: host,
          content-type and all x-amz-* headers (except for x-amz-client-context which
          breaks Mobile Analytics auth if included)
        
        **Docs**
        
        - Minor docstring and comment updates
        
        **License**
