Pushing updated media files to S3/Cloudfront.

    I have set up a CDN through AWS S3 and Cloudfront, but am having a hard time getting newly updated files to push to S3 and on to Cloudfront. I’m guessing this is just a configuration error, but I can’t find where I have gone awry. If there is anyone that can help with this, I would be very appreciative!

    Let me know if there are details that I didn’t include that you need in order to help me.

    Is there anyone that can help with this? If there is another thread that I have overlooked, I will be happy to read through any past responses that could resolve this. I’m not being lazy… just haven’t been able to find a solution yet. Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

    Ok, after a lengthy chat with AWS support, it appears to be a problem with this plugin. (According to them.) The cache-control header is not being set on any of the files hosted through the CDN. Frederick… can you shed some light on this? Am I configuring it wrong, or is there really a problem with the plugin?

    I set the cache-control max-age via the S3 console and invalidated the object in cloudfront, and now the caching of that particular object is working. That confirms to me that for whatever reason, the header is not being set correctly when the plugin uploads the files to S3. How can I fix this? Anybody…?

    Ok… I think I figured out what was going on. I had set up the CDN before I configured the caching settings. I basically created a new bucket/distribution and it resolved my problem.
