; Note: The above REST connection and setup of the AWS credentials

; The "auto reconnect" property passed to rest.Connect indicates that if

; if needed.

; Since we are sending a HEAD request, we shouldn't use any of the Full* methods.
; Instead, send the request, then just read the response header.

; Get the ETag response header value:
