// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Insert your AWS keys here:

http.AwsSecretKey := 'AWS_SECRET_KEY';

localFilePath := 'qa_data/jpg/seahorse.jpg';
contentType := 'image/jpg';

// User-defined metadata are name/value pairs, and are added to the HTTP request header.
// Header names must begin with "x-amz-meta-" to distinguish them from other HTTP headers.
// Note that Amazon S3 stores user-defined metadata keys in lowercase.

// For example, to add genus=Hippocampus, we do this:
http.SetRequestHeader('x-amz-meta-genus','Hippocampus');

// Add a few more user-metadata key pairs.
http.SetRequestHeader('x-amz-meta-species','big-belly seahorse');
http.SetRequestHeader('x-amz-meta-habitat','shallow tropical and temperate waters');

success := http.S3_UploadFile(localFilePath,contentType,bucketName,objectName);
