Hugh,
(BTW, thanks for your patience and help).
I just logged into windows (native) and connected to the Internet via
a different modem (that gets DNS servers dynamically). This is what I
get:
C:\Documents and Settings\etienne>nslookup blabla.blabla.s3.amazonaws.com
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 202.124.68.130: Timed out
*** Can't find server name for address 202.124.76.98: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Server: UnKnown
Address: 202.124.68.130
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: s3-2-w.amazonaws.com
Address: 207.171.185.195
Aliases: ambiboots.audio.s3.amazonaws.com
s3-directional-w.amazonaws.com
-----------------------
I cant easily get people to try the code, because to access amazon's
S3 (to do a POST) I need to first get a 'signed url' (a
time-restricted authenticated url for posting) from my own server ...
and THEN with that signed url I can do the post to S3.
Although, I guess I could show you the code.
An other option is that I just 'package' the app and let people try it
in the full blown context ...
