This is an OSX application that registers and responds to the gs:// and s3:// protocols, letting you open Google Cloud Storage and Amazon S3 URIs from a browser or command line in your web browser.

It wraps the https:// protocol, opening your default browser to https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/<ORIGINAL_URI> or https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/<ORIGINAL_URI>.

Installation

git clone git@github.com:abstrctn/open-gs.git
cd open-gs

ln -s $(pwd)/gs.app /Applications/gs.app

The first time you open a gs:// link, OSX will ask for confirmation. Check the Always open these types of links in the associated app box to prevent the dialog from appearing in the future.

If you keep getting the "Website wants to open this open this application" prompt, try adding the protocols to Chrome's URLWhitelist setting. (You'll need to restart Chrome.)

defaults write com.google.Chrome URLWhitelist -array 'gs://*' 's3://*'

Details

The portion of the URL after browser/ must match a directory prefix that exists in the bucket, which will show all files within that directory. The path-based filter will only work on directories, you cannot include a file name as part of the page.

A separate prefix querystring can be used to filter the results, and this support filenames. Thus the script attempts to strip filenames by removing everything after the final slash in the URL, and sending it as the prefix querystring parameter instead. This process is skipped if the gs url contains only the bucket name without a path.

e.g., gs://bucket/directory/ -> https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/bucket/directory e.g., gs://bucket/directory/file.txt -> https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/bucket/directory?prefix=file.txt

Development

source/main.applescript contains the source code for the compiled script gs.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/main.scpt. After editing the file in source, run make build to compile the script into the .app.

Changelog

v0.2.1 - Go to bucket index page by passing no bucket name. v0.2.0 - Added support for s3:// protocol. v0.1.0 - Initial release with support for gs:// protocol.
