cloudfront doesn't support ssl. it's making firefox say my pages are only partially encrypted. so i'm going to have to switch from this:

http://cloudfront.wingedleopard.net/heart.png

to this:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.wingedleopard.net/heart.png

on all of my https pages. :( disappointed! so is everyone else:

this is kind of a joke!

i'm changing my cnames from "cloudfront" to "cdn".

for example, this:

http://cloudfront.wingedleopard.net/heart.png

becomes this:

http://cdn.wingedleopard.net/heart.png

it's shorter, and it's generic, so it doesn't advertise for aws cloudfront! (cdn stands for content distribution network.)

I needed potentially harmful content removed from edge locations.

Q. How do I to remove an item from edge locations?
Simply delete the object from your Amazon S3 bucket. As content in the edge locations reaches the expiration period defined in each object’s HTTP header, it will be removed. In the event that offensive or potentially harmful material needs to be removed before the specified expiration time, you can contact AWS who will work to remove it in a timely fashion.


(http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/faqs/#How_do_I_to_remove_an_item_from_edge_locations)

I sent an inquiry to the AWS team.

subject Your AWS Inquiry

Hello,

I'm sorry, but unfortunately, I'm not able to provide technical support for adding code to your website. We're better able to help members with the link-generating tools in Associates Central, assuming your application supports them.

In my experience, the best way to get the help you need is to post your question to our discussion forums:

http://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associ … /main.html

You could also ask your web host, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), an FTP program help guide, a book, or a friend with experience building websites for help.

We hope to see you again soon.

Did we answer your question?
