Comment on SimpleDB: Finally Supports Sorting by James Murty

Hi Robert,
You are correct: in order to sort on an attribute you must first use that attribute in a query condition (aka predicate). It is unfortunate that the SimpleDB error message isn’t more descriptive if you forget to do this.

Hello again James,

It appears that in order to sort on an attribute you have to have that attribute in the query string, as you have in your example.

Hi James,

Thanks for this post. I’m trying to use the sort feature and get the following error: “The specified query expression syntax is not valid.” Here’s the query I’m sending: ['tags' = 'shirt'] sort ‘category’ desc. I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks.

Comment on SSH Tip: Redirect External Internet Traffic to a Dev Machine by James Murty

I’m glad it works for you Fabricio.

Enabling the GatewayPorts option is definitely the best way to do this, provided you have enough admin privileges on the public machine to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Thanks for summarising the steps and the location of the config file.

Thanks for your help, I found the solution making the change in:
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
with
GatewayPorts yes

Restarting the sshd service

And connecting again:
ssh -Rxxxx:127.0.0.1:80 user@domain.com
I can see my local pc

Comment on CloudFront: A CDN for Amazon’s Simple Storage Service by James Murty

You specify the CloudFront cache settings using the standard Cache-Control, Pragma, and Expires header directives. As well as being used by the service to determine how long objects will be cached at the edge locations, these same headers are also passed on to users’ browsers.

There is an interesting forum discussion around browser versus service caching strategies here: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/thread.jspa?threadID=26468&tstart=0

Do you know if you can set MaxAge on an object in S3 so that when delivered through CloudFront these header settings are retained and an object would get cached in the users browser?
