* 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.

* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 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.
loAuthAws = CreateObject('Chilkat.AuthAws')

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

* Load a text file into memory.

* To send the file in gzip or deflate compressed format, set the Content-Encoding request
* header to "gzip" or "deflate".  (this is optional)
lnSuccess = loRest.AddHeader("Content-Encoding","gzip")

* Indicate the Content-Type of our upload.  (This is optional)
lnSuccess = loRest.AddHeader("Content-Type","text/xml")

* We can add an "Expect: 100-continue" header so that if the request is rejected
* by the server immediately after receiving the request header, it can respond
* and the client (Chilkat) can avoid sending the file data.
* (this is optional)
lnSuccess = loRest.AddHeader("Expect","100-continue")

* Upload the file to Amazon S3.
