translation needed // size limitation now gone?

[maelcum]

Hi,

can somebody interpret the following sentence in some easy-english for me, please? Sometimes, my command of english just fails me utterly... 

Code:

Customers who use vanity domains can now make signed HTTP requests against them.

And: Does s3sync.rb has to be changed to take advantage of the "new" (revised) size limitation?
Not that I'm able to use that limit to its full capacity with my measly 512 Kbit upstream...   



*****************************************************************
AMAZON S3: VIRTUAL HOSTED BUCKETS AND OBJECT SIZE IMPROVEMENTS
*****************************************************************
The Amazon S3 team is excited to launch a significant enhancement to our
virtual hosted buckets feature (also known as vanity domains). Customers
who use vanity domains can now make signed HTTP requests against them.
Please refer to the updated Amazon S3 documentation for details. We've
released updated code samples for this feature which are available in the
Resource Center. The team has also successfully deployed a fix that removes
the 2-4 GB limitation on object sizes. All our customers should now be able
to upload, store and transfer objects that are up to 5 GB in size, as
documented in the Release Notes.

I think it means that if you use a domain with a CNAME pointing to s3.amazonaws.com then request signing works.  I haven't personally tested anything like that.

s3sync tools don't care about size of things, so the answer to the second thing is "no".

Okay. Thanks. Now it makes sense.
