// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

// Insert your AWS keys here:
http.AwsAccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY"
http.AwsSecretKey = "AWS_SECRET_KEY"

Dim bucketName As String
bucketName = "chilkat.ocean"

// User-defined metadata are name/value pairs, and are added to the HTTP request header.
// Header names must begin with "x-amz-meta-" to distinguish them from other HTTP headers.
// Note that Amazon S3 stores user-defined metadata keys in lowercase.

// For example, to add genus=Hippocampus, we do this:
http.SetRequestHeader "x-amz-meta-genus","Hippocampus"

// Add a few more user-metadata key pairs.
http.SetRequestHeader "x-amz-meta-species","big-belly seahorse"
http.SetRequestHeader "x-amz-meta-habitat","shallow tropical and temperate waters"
