This module will map requests for URLs on your server into proxy requests to the Amazon S3 service, adding authentication headers along the way to permit access to non-public resources.

It doesn't actually do any proxying itself, rather it just adds the required authentication fields to the request and sets up mod_proxy to handle it. Therefore you will need to enable mod_proxy like so:

  ProxyRequests on

If you permit modification requests (PUT/DELETE) using the S3ReadWrite feature then it is quite important that you protect the url from untrusted requests using something like the following on Apache 2.2:

  <Proxy *>
    <LimitExcept GET>
      Order deny,allow
      Deny from all
      Allow from localhost
    </LimitExcept>
  </Proxy>
