Glacier Download Archive

See more Amazon Glacier Examples

Demonstrates how to download an Amazon Glacier archive. Downloading a Glacier archive is a two step process. First an archive retrieval job is initiated. After it completes, the job output is downloaded (i.e. the archive contents are downloaded.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.

* This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

* Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server in the desired region.

* --------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Note: The above REST connection and setup of the AWS credentials
* can be done once.  After connecting, any number of REST calls can be made.
* The "auto reconnect" property passed to rest.Connect indicates that if
* the connection is lost, a REST method call will automatically reconnect
* if needed.

* To download an archive, we'll make several method calls:
* 1) Send the HTTPS GET request.
* 2) Get the response body.
* 3) If the response status code indicates success, stream the response body (i.e the archive data) to a file.
* 4) If the response status code indicates an error, get the JSON error response.

* Send the GET request.
