Hi bro @apal21,

Thanks for sharing the code. Anyway, I got error on getSignedUrl() and the error message is

TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined
    at determineScheme (C:\Users\ardi\Documents\Code\NodeJS\nodejs-for-testing\node_modules\aws-sdk\lib\cloudfront\signer.js:52:21)
    at getResource (C:\Users\ardi\Documents\Code\NodeJS\nodejs-for-testing\node_modules\aws-sdk\lib\cloudfront\signer.js:66:13)
    at Signer.getSignedUrl (C:\Users\ardi\Documents\Code\NodeJS\nodejs-for-testing\node_modules\aws-sdk\lib\cloudfront\signer.js:178:28)
    at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Users\ardi\Documents\Code\NodeJS\nodejs-for-testing\cloudfront-signed-url.js:59:8)

My code is pretty same with yours,

Thanks in advance.

Hey @immma,

Can't tell anything from the information you gave here. Create a gist or something of the code which is failing so that I can look into it.

@immma You have to give a url param to prevent this error.

It is caused by this line in the SDK. It seems it is necessary to provide the Resource URL as url property to the options argument.

//  ... same as gist
cloudFront.getSignedUrl({
  url: <resource_url_here_as_string>
  policy,
}, (err, url) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(url);
});
