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

* Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server.
lnBTls = 1
lnPort = 443
lnBAutoReconnect = 1
* The file is located in the bucket named "chilkat100", which becomes part of the domain:
lnSuccess = loRest.Connect("chilkat100.s3.amazonaws.com",lnPort,lnBTls,lnBAutoReconnect)

* Provide AWS credentials for the REST call.

* For AWS Signature Version 2, the following two properties need to be set:
loAuthAws.SignatureVersion = 2
* See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAuthentication.html#ConstructingTheCanonicalizedResourceElement
