(Visual FoxPro) REST Stream Response to File (Streaming Download) (Amazon S3)

Demonstrates how to stream the response body directly to a file. (The example shows how to stream a JPG from the Amazon S3 service.)

* This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Rest')
loRest = CreateObject('Chilkat.Rest')

* Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server.
lnBTls = 1
lnPort = 443
lnBAutoReconnect = 1
lnSuccess = loRest.Connect("s3.amazonaws.com",lnPort,lnBTls,lnBAutoReconnect)

* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Important: For buckets created in regions outside us-east-1,
* there are three important changes that need to be made.
* See Working with S3 Buckets in Non-us-east-1 Regions for the details.
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Provide AWS credentials for the REST call.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.AuthAws')
loAuthAws = CreateObject('Chilkat.AuthAws')
loAuthAws.AccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY"
loAuthAws.SecretKey = "AWS_SECRET_KEY"
loAuthAws.ServiceName = "s3"
lnSuccess = loRest.SetAuthAws(loAuthAws)

* Set the bucket name via the HOST header.
* In this case, the bucket name is "chilkat100".
loRest.Host = "chilkat100.s3.amazonaws.com"

* Send the request to download the JPG.
lnSuccess = loRest.SendReqNoBody("GET","/starfish.jpg")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loAuthAws
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Read the response header.
lnResponseStatusCode = loRest.ReadResponseHeader()
IF (lnResponseStatusCode < 0) THEN
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loAuthAws
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Response status code = " + STR(lnResponseStatusCode)

* We expect a 200 response status if the JPG data is coming.
* Otherwise, we'll get a string response body with an error message(or no response body).
IF (lnResponseStatusCode = 200) THEN

    * For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Stream')
    loBodyStream = CreateObject('Chilkat.Stream')

    * The stream's sink will be a file.
    loBodyStream.SinkFile = "qa_output/starfish.jpg"

    * Read the response body to the stream.  Given that we've
    * set the stream's sink to a file, it will stream directly
    * to the file.
