Backblaze S3 Download String

See more Backblaze S3 Examples

Demonstrates how to download a textual object into a string variable.

The Chilkat S3 functions in the HTTP class are compatible with the Backblaze service. However, because of some specific issues, Chilkat v9.5.0.89 or later is needed.

Chilkat C# Downloads

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

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

// keyID = Access Key ID or Access Key
http.AwsAccessKey = "access-key";

// applicationKey = Secret Access Key or Secret Key
http.AwsSecretKey = "secret-key";

// Region is the 2nd part of your S3 Endpoint
http.AwsEndpoint = "s3.us-west-002.backblazeb2.com";

string bucketName = "chilkat-test";
string objectName = "orchard.json";

// This is the byte representation of the text file downloaded from Backblaze.
// It must be specified to allow Chilkat to correctly interpret the bytes as characters.
string charset = "utf-8";

string fileContents = http.S3_DownloadString(bucketName,objectName,charset);

if (http.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
}
else {
    Debug.WriteLine(fileContents);
    Debug.WriteLine("Success.");
}
