Require AWS SDK in C

[prashah-confluent]

Describe the feature

Currently, the AWS SDK is available in languages like ruby, python, java etc. However, we need AWS SDK in C so that it can be easily hooked into our C based project.

Use Case

We have a project which is in pure C. With the limitation of not having AWS SDK in C requires additional effort and maintenance on our end to integrate the AWS SDK C++ via extern calls.

Having a AWS SDK in pure C will help benefit our integration.

We dont have any current plans to create a C SDK. However the aws c common runtime provides a lot of building blocks that can be used for easier interaction with AWS services such as signers and credentials providers.

We just want to use GetWebIdentityToken API to get JWT. Will that be possible through aws c common runtime considering the entire credential chain provider flow?

Can you please share an example of consuming GetWebIdentityToken API if that is possible with aws c common runtime

[sbiscigl]

the GetWebIdentityToken operation is not part of the credentials provider flow, AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity is. When you say you want to get the JWT what is the use case, what are you using the JWT for? subsequent aws calls using assume role with web identity?

you could use the crt http client + credentials provider + signer to create a signed request for the GetWebIdentityToken API
