Beating my head with query to Amazon AWS with coldfusion

I have been beating my head senseless for sometime now with trying to query amazon's aws. When I run my code I get an error stating that the signature is invalid so now I turn to you Experts for your valued help.

Here is my code.

<cffunction name="awsurl" returntype="string" access="public" output="No">
<cfargument name="Query" type="string" required="true" />
<cfargument name="AWSAccessKeyId" type="string" required="true" default="AKIAJxxxxxxxx"/>
<cfargument name="SecretKey" type="string" required="true" default="xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
<cfargument name="Host" type="string" default="ec2.amazonaws.com" />
<cfargument name="Methord" type="string" default="GET" />
<cfargument name="URI" type="string" default="/" />
<cfargument name="SignatureVersion" type="string" default="2" />
<cfargument name="Version" type="date" default="2012-04-01" />
<cfargument name="http" type="string" default="https" hint="https|http" />


<cfset local.Time = dateConvert("local2Utc",now())>
<cfset local.Time = "#DateFormat(local.Time,'yyyy-mm-dd')#T#TimeFormat(local.Time,'HH:mm:ss')#">
<cfset arguments.Query = "#arguments.Query#&Timestamp=#local.Time#&SignatureVersion=#arguments.SignatureVersion#&Version=#arguments.Version#&SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256">


<cfset arguments.Query = ListToArray(arguments.Query,'&')>
<cfset ArraySort(arguments.Query,'text')>

<cfset ArrayPrepend(arguments.Query, "AWSAccessKeyId=#arguments.AWSAccessKeyId#")>

<cfset local.SortedString = ArrayNew(1)>
<cfloop from="1" to="#ArrayLen(arguments.Query)#" index="local.i">
<cfset local.value = arguments.Query[local.i]>
<cfif listlen(local.value,'=') gt 1>
<cfset ArrayAppend(local.SortedString,"#listfirst(local.value,'=')#=#reservedEncod(listlast(local.value,'='))#")>
<cfelse>
<cfset ArrayAppend(local.SortedString,"#local.value#")>
</cfif>
</cfloop>

<cfset local.toEncode = "#arguments.Methord##chr(10)##arguments.Host##chr(10)##arguments.URI##chr(10)##ArrayToList(local.SortedString,'&')#">
<cfoutput><pre>#local.toEncode#</pre></cfoutput>

<cfset local.Signature = URLEncodedFormat(ToBase64(HMAC_SHA256(local.toEncode,arguments.SecretKey)))>

<cfset arguments.Query = ArrayToList(arguments.Query,'&')>
<cfset arguments.Query = "#arguments.http#://#arguments.Host##arguments.URI#?#arguments.Query#&Signature=#local.Signature#">
<cfreturn arguments.Query>
</cffunction>

<cffunction name="reservedEncod" returntype="string" access="public" output="no">
<cfargument name="string" type="string" required="true" />

<cfset local.reserved = "!|##|$|&|'|(|)|*|+|,|/|:|;|=|?|@|[|]| ">
<cfloop list="#local.reserved#" index="local.i" delimiters="|">
<cfif find(local.i,arguments.string)>
<cfset arguments.string = replace(arguments.string,local.i, "%#ucase(FormatBaseN(Asc(local.i),'16'))#", 'all')>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfreturn arguments.string>
</cffunction>

<cffunction name="HMAC_SHA256" returntype="binary" access="public" output="no">
<cfargument name="signMessage" type="string" required="true" />
<cfargument name="signKey" type="string" required="true" />
<cfset local.jMsg = JavaCast("string",arguments.signMessage).getBytes("iso-8859-1") />
<cfset local.jKey = JavaCast("string",arguments.signKey).getBytes("iso-8859-1") />
<cfset local.key = createObject("java","javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec") />
<cfset local.mac = createObject("java","javax.crypto.Mac") />
<cfset local.key = local.key.init(local.jKey,"HmacSHA256") />
<cfset local.mac = local.mac.getInstance(local.key.getAlgorithm()) />
<cfset local.mac.init(local.key) />
<cfset local.mac.update(local.jMsg) />
<cfreturn local.mac.doFinal() />
</cffunction>

success: function(res) {
console.log(res.responseText);

var xml = $.parseXML(res.responseText);
var $tmp = $( xml );
var tmp2 = $tmp.find( "head" );
$('.container').append(tmp2.text()+'<br>');

},
      error: function(){
            alert('failed')
      }
});

});

got it working using this method(attached) however it is only returning the first few of 100/1000 results. I need to view and return all and am hitting a wall. any suggestions would be great.

Thanks for the pointer but Im not using php, I'm Using ColdFusion.

Not to mention I am clueless on php.

dgrafx

yes - i know you are on CF.
you are typically hard pressed to find CF code examples - especially from large companies - so we usually read through PHP or whatever and glean what we can understand.
note that you don't need to understand everything - just looking for clues ...

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

The question has either no comments or not enough useful information to be called an "answer".

dgrafx

I would say that I answered his question - see this post: http:#a40476395 but poster then asked for help with the number of records it returned - which was not in the original question.
I did try to provide more help but admittedly did not provide a lot of useful additional info.

Thanks ...
