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

# When usig the REST class to access an S3 bucket that has been created in a particular region,
# there are three important things to remember:
# 
# 1) Connect to the domain that includes the region.  For example, instead of connecting to
#    "s3.amazonaws.com", connect to "s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com" if your bucket is in the EU Frankfurt region.
#    See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region   for a list of S3 region domains (endpoints)
# 
# 2) Set the AuthAws.Region property equal to the region, such as "eu-central-1".
# 
# 3) Include the region in request's Host header.
# 

# This example will upload to a bucket in the eu-central-1 region.
#

# Set the bucket name via the HOST header.
# In this case, the bucket name is "chilkateufrankfurt" (which was created in the eu-central-1 region)
