You can run the unit test with ginkgo as follows.

Pre-signed URLs

The command sign generates a pre-signed url for a specific object, action and duration:

bosh-davcli <objectID> <action: get|put> <duration>

The request will be signed using HMAC-SHA256 with a secret provided in configuration.

The HMAC format is: <HTTP Verb><Object ID><Unix timestamp of the signature time><Unix timestamp of the expiration time>

The generated URL will be of format:

https://blobstore.url/signed/object-id?st=HMACSignatureHash&ts=GenerationTimestamp&e=ExpirationTimestamp
