// This 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 using the correct region (in this example, "us-west-2")
bool bTls = true;
int port = 443;
bool bAutoReconnect = true;
bool success = rest.Connect("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";
success = rest.SetAuthAws(authAws);

// The bucket name we want to know about is set in the HOST header.
// In this example, we want to find the region for the "chilkat.qa" bucket.
rest.Host = "chilkat.qa.s3.amazonaws.com";

// Send the GET request to query the bucket location.
string strResult = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/?location");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);

    Debug.WriteLine(rest.ResponseHeader);
    Debug.WriteLine(strResult);
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed.");
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(strResult);

// The result contains XML like this:
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
// <LocationConstraint xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">us-west-2</LocationConstraint>

// Get the "us-west-2" from the XML
Chilkat.Xml xml = new Chilkat.Xml();
