(C#) (using AWS Signature Version 2) Streaming Download to File

The main purpose of this example is to demonstrate how to use the older Signature Version 2 authentication w/ S3. It uses V2 authentication to download a file.

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

Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();

// Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server.
bool bTls = true;
int port = 443;
bool bAutoReconnect = true;
// The file is located in the bucket named "chilkat100", which becomes part of the domain:
bool success = rest.Connect("chilkat100.s3.amazonaws.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect);

// Provide AWS credentials for the REST call.
Chilkat.AuthAws authAws = new Chilkat.AuthAws();
authAws.AccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY";
authAws.SecretKey = "AWS_SECRET_KEY";
authAws.ServiceName = "s3";

// For AWS Signature Version 2, the following two properties need to be set:
authAws.SignatureVersion = 2;
// See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAuthentication.html#ConstructingTheCanonicalizedResourceElement
authAws.CanonicalizedResourceV2 = "/chilkat100/starfish.jpg";

success = rest.SetAuthAws(authAws);

// Send the request to download the JPG.
success = rest.SendReqNoBody("GET","/starfish.jpg");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Read the response header.
int responseStatusCode = rest.ReadResponseHeader();
if (responseStatusCode < 0) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Response status code = " + Convert.ToString(responseStatusCode));

// We expect a 200 response status if the JPG data is coming.
// Otherwise, we'll get a string response body with an error message(or no response body).
if (responseStatusCode == 200) {

    Chilkat.Stream bodyStream = new Chilkat.Stream();

    // The stream's sink will be a file.
    bodyStream.SinkFile = "qa_output/starfish.jpg";

    // Read the response body to the stream.  Given that we've
    // set the stream's sink to a file, it will stream directly
    // to the file.
    success = rest.ReadRespBodyStream(bodyStream,true);
    if (success != true) {
        Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    Debug.WriteLine("Successfully received the JPG file.");

}
else {
    string errResponse = rest.ReadRespBodyString();
    if (rest.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
        Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    }
    else {
        Debug.WriteLine(errResponse);
    }
