Hi Tino! Sorry for the big delay of the response....

I installed the version of AmazonEC2 ruby-gem 0.9.17. In the file

   /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/amazon-ec2-0.9.17/lib/AWS.rb:96

the algorithm used for generating the digest is sha256.

I'm currently uisng a API version that not includes the port. In order
to have things working I modified the file

   $ONE_LOCATION/lib/ruby/cloud/econe/EC2QueryServer.rb:267

replacing the upper bound of the date interval to 2010-08-31.

Best regards,
