AWS S3 File Streaming Upload

See more Amazon S3 (new) Examples

Demonstrates how to do a streaming upload from a file to the AWS S3 storage service. The AWS authorization presents some difficulties when the REST request body is to be streamed from a file (or from some other source). The issue is that the SHA-256 hash of the file data must be calculated. There are only two possible ways to do this: (1) stream the file into memory in its entirety and calculate the SHA-256 hash prior to uploading, or (2) pre-calculate the SHA-256 in a streaming fashion, and then provide it to the AWS authentication object.

If the application does NOT pre-compute the SHA-256, then Chilkat (internally) is forced to stream into memory, calculate the SHA-256, and then upload from the in-memory copy of the file.

Go

    success := false

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

    // This first part is optional.  AWS authentication requires
    // the SHA-256 hash of the request body (i.e. the contents of the file
    // to be uploaded).  We can choose to pre-calculate the SHA-256 in a streaming fashion
    // and then provide it to the authenticator object.  This way, if the file is
    // extremely large, it never needs to completely reside in memory.
    crypt := chilkat.NewCrypt2()
    crypt.SetEncodingMode("hex")
    crypt.SetHashAlgorithm("sha-256")
    fileToUploadPath := "qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml"
    hashStr := crypt.HashFileENC(fileToUploadPath)

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()

    // Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server.
    bTls := true
    port := 443
    bAutoReconnect := true
    success = rest.Connect("s3.amazonaws.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // 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.
    authAws := chilkat.NewAuthAws()
    authAws.SetAccessKey("AWS_ACCESS_KEY")
    authAws.SetSecretKey("AWS_SECRET_KEY")
    authAws.SetServiceName("s3")
    // Provide the pre-computed SHA-256 here:
    authAws.SetPrecomputedSha256(*hashStr)

    success = rest.SetAuthAws(authAws)

    // Set the bucket name via the HOST header.
    // In this case, the bucket name is "chilkat100".
    rest.SetHost("chilkat100.s3.amazonaws.com")

    fileStream := chilkat.NewStream()
    fileStream.SetSourceFile(fileToUploadPath)

    // Upload to the S3 Storage service.
    // If the application provided the SHA-256 hash of the file contents (as shown above)
    // then file is streamed and never has to completely reside in memory.
    // If the application did NOT provide the SHA-256, then Chilkat will (internally) 
    // load the entire file into memory, calculate the SHA-256, and then upload.
    responseStr := rest.FullRequestStream("PUT","/hamlet.xml",fileStream)
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess() != true {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())

        return
    }

    // When successful, the S3 Storage service will respond with a 200 response code,
    // with an XML body.  
    if rest.ResponseStatusCode() == 200 {
        fmt.Println(*responseStr)
        fmt.Println("File uploaded.")
    } else {
