* Use the following online tool to generate REST code from a CURL command
* Convert a cURL Command to REST Source Code

loAuthAws = CreateObject('Chilkat.AuthAws')
loAuthAws.AccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY"
loAuthAws.SecretKey = "AWS_SECRET_KEY"
* Don't forget to change the region to your particular region. (Also make the same change in the call to Connect below.)
loAuthAws.Region = "us-west-2"
loAuthAws.ServiceName = "dynamodb"
* SetAuthAws causes Chilkat to automatically add the following headers: Authorization, X-Amz-Date
loRest.SetAuthAws(loAuthAws)

* URL: https://dynamodb.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/
lnBTls = 1
lnPort = 443
lnBAutoReconnect = 1
lnSuccess = loRest.Connect("dynamodb.us-west-2.amazonaws.com",lnPort,lnBTls,lnBAutoReconnect)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? "ConnectFailReason: " + STR(loRest.ConnectFailReason)
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loAuthAws
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
* The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
* reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
* made via the Connect method.

* Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
* Generate Code to Create JSON

* The following JSON is sent in the request body.

* {
*   "TableName": "Thread",
*   "Item": {
*     "LastPostDateTime": {
*       "S": "201303190422"
