JSON Configuration

JSON routing configuration -- mapping prefixes in SSSP to buckets in S3 -- can be POSTed to the root resource (/) as well as added to a configuration file (conf/s3.json by default). The JSON configuration is a map of prefixes to JSON objects containing a bucket name and AWS access credentials:

{
  "/downloads": {
    "s3": {
      "bucket": "files.example.com",
      "access": "....................",
      "secret": "........................................" }
  },
  "/gifs/team": {
    "s3": {
      "bucket": "memes.example.com",
      "access": "....................",
      "secret": "........................................" }
  },
}

The prefixes are always treated as though they started and ended with a slash (though both slashes can be safely omitted from the configuration). Thus, to obtain the S3 object s3://memes.example.com/m/molly/glasses.gif given the above configuration, one would issue GET /gifs/team/m/molly/glasses.gif to SSSP.
