Glacier Download Archive

See more Amazon Glacier Examples

Demonstrates how to download an Amazon Glacier archive. Downloading a Glacier archive is a two step process. First an archive retrieval job is initiated. After it completes, the job output is downloaded (i.e. the archive contents are downloaded.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.

Objective-C

#import <CkoRest.h>
#import <CkoAuthAws.h>
#import <CkoStream.h>
#import <NSString.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

CkoRest *rest = [[CkoRest alloc] init];

//  Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server in the desired region.
BOOL bTls = YES;
int port = 443;
BOOL bAutoReconnect = YES;
success = [rest Connect: @"glacier.us-west-2.amazonaws.com" port: [NSNumber numberWithInt: port] tls: bTls autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect];

//  Provide AWS credentials.
CkoAuthAws *authAws = [[CkoAuthAws alloc] init];
authAws.AccessKey = @"AWS_ACCESS_KEY";
authAws.SecretKey = @"AWS_SECRET_KEY";
authAws.ServiceName = @"glacier";
authAws.Region = @"us-west-2";

success = [rest SetAuthAws: authAws];

//  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Note: The above REST connection and setup of the AWS credentials
//  can be done once.  After connecting, any number of REST calls can be made.
//  The "auto reconnect" property passed to rest.Connect indicates that if
//  the connection is lost, a REST method call will automatically reconnect
//  if needed.

//  To download an archive, we'll make several method calls:
//  1) Send the HTTPS GET request.
//  2) Get the response body.
//  3) If the response status code indicates success, stream the response body (i.e the archive data) to a file.
//  4) If the response status code indicates an error, get the JSON error response.

//  Send the GET request.
