// 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 = await http.S3_DownloadStringAsync(bucketName,objectName,charset);
