I am building a web application that includes a file upload feature. My goal is to initiate upload from users directly to an S3 bucket. The strategy is to pre-sign a POST request that will get submitted as a form.
The roadblock is a SignatureDoesNotMatch error - as far as I can tell I've conformed to the documentation, and have explored a lot of options, but still unable to resolve. I am able to generate presigned download links.

AWS POST documentation
Example
boto3 generate_presigned_post reference
Generate signed request:
def s3_upload_creds(name, user):
s3 = boto3.client('s3')
key = '${filename}'
region = 'us-east-1'
date_short = datetime.datetime.utcnow().strftime('%Y%m%d')
date_long = datetime.datetime.utcnow().strftime('%Y%m%dT000000Z')
fields = {
'acl': 'private',
'date': date_short,
'region': region,
'x-amz-algorithm': 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256',
'x-amz-date': date_long
}
return s3.generate_presigned_post(
Bucket = 'leasy',
Fields = fields,
Key = key,
Conditions = [
{'acl': 'private'},
{'x-amz-algorithm': 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256'},
{'x-amz-credential': '/'.join(['AKI--snip--', date_short, region, 's3', 'aws4_request'])},
{'x-amz-date': date_long}
]
)
Upload form (populated with fields above):
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
{{ creds }}
<form action="{{ creds.url }}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Key to upload:
<input type="input" name="key" value="${filename}" /><br />
<input type="input" name="acl" value="{{ creds.fields.acl }}" />
<input type="hidden" name="Policy" value="{{ creds.fields.policy }}" />
<input type="text" name="X-Amz-Algorithm" value="{{ creds.fields['x-amz-algorithm'] }}" />
<input type="input" name="X-Amz-Credential" value="{{ creds.fields.AWSAccessKeyId }}/{{ creds.fields.date }}/us-east-1/s3/aws4_request" />
<input type="input" name="X-Amz-Date" value="{{ creds.fields['x-amz-date'] }}" />
<input type="input" name="X-Amz-Signature" value="{{ creds.fields.signature }}" />
File:
<input type="file" name="file" /> <br />
<!-- The elements after this will be ignored -->
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload to Amazon S3" />
</form>
