Getting Started
---------------

Before using awscli-plugin-s3-proxy plugin, you need to [configure awscli](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html) first.

**MUST**: Once that's done, to enable `awscli-plugin-s3-proxy` plugin, you can run:

$ aws configure set plugins.s3-proxy awscli_plugin_s3_proxy

The above command adds below section to your aws config file. You can also directly edit your `~/.aws/config` with below configuration.

[plugins]
s3-proxy = awscli_plugin_s3_proxy

To add proxy configure to a profile (assuming you have a **test** profile), you can run:

$ aws configure --profile test set s3.proxy http://proxy-host.com:8080

The above command adds below section to your profile:

[profile test]
s3 =
proxy = http://proxy-host.com:8080

Now you can access S3 using proxy with profile:

$ aws s3 ls --profile test

If You want to use profile without passing it every time as parameter, use environment variable, ex:

export AWS_PROFILE=test

Alternative (classic) method
------------------
You can follow the [guide by AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-http-proxy.html) which describes how to use proxy using system environment variables. Here is the example:

export http_proxy=http://proxy-host.com:8080
export https_proxy=http://proxy-host.com:8080
export HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy-host.com:8080
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy-host.com:8080

Remember that after setting these variables, `ALL` awscli requests will be going through proxy!

Additionally, if You are using awscli on EC2 host, add `NO_PROXY` variable to allow awscli communicate with metadata endpoint:

NO_PROXY=169.254.169.254
