REST Download Binary to Memory (CkByteData) (Amazon S3)

See more Amazon S3 (new) Examples

This example demonstrates how to perform a REST call to download a binary file from Amazon S3, returning a binary response body suitable for files that fit in memory. For larger files, Chilkat offers options for streaming directly to a file or making an asynchronous call, allowing the foreground thread to read the response body stream. Java
