Cloudfront Path pattern issue

Question

I have a AWS S3 bucket with directory structure with each user in my application having a seperate director like Dir(User-ID) eg Dir(1233233) . I want to create 2 cloudfront path patter such that -

1. The images(png and jpg) just inside the parent directory should be accessible without a signed url (should be public).
2. All other sub-directories and files should require a signed url (should be private).

I am trying to create something like Dir(*)/*.jpg with unsigned policy and a default one with a signed policy. This doesn't seem to work. Any ideas on how can I achieve this?

Answer 1

'(' is not an acceptable character and will not work with patterns.

Checked on,

Dir*/*.jpg

and it works.

Based on the documentation,

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/distribution-web-values-specify.html#DownloadDistValuesPathPattern

The maximum length of a path pattern is 255 characters. The value can contain any of the following characters:

AZ, az

Path patterns are case sensitive, so the path pattern *.jpg doesn't apply to the file LOGO.JPG.

0-9

_ - . * $ / ~ " ' @ : +

&, passed and returned as & amp;

Hope it helps.
