// Demonstrates how to use older AWS S3 Signature Version 2 for uploading the contents
// of a string variable to an object in a bucket.

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

// Important: For buckets created in regions outside us-east-1,
// there are three important changes that need to be made.

// See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAuthentication.html#ConstructingTheCanonicalizedResourceElement
// The bucket is "chilkat100", and the uriPath is "/hamlet_play.xml", which must match
