I am using Dragonfly (https://github.com/markevans/dragonfly) for some image manipulation on a project and that uses fog as a data storage engine. I recently started getting weird Amazon errors on requests. The main errors are
AWS authentication requires a valid Date or x-amz-date header
and
The difference between the request time and the current time is too large.
This works fine on all my other machines, just on one development machine. Its running Mac OSX with Ruby 1.9 and Rails 3.0.10, the timestamps is fine on the machine. The header seems to be coming in as epoch time for some reason...
Full errors:
