See more Amazon S3 (new) Examples

Demonstrates how to find out the region of an S3 bucket. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$rest = chilkat::CkRest->new();

# Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server using the correct region (in this example, "us-west-2")
$bTls = 1;
$port = 443;
$bAutoReconnect = 1;
$success = $rest->Connect("s3.amazonaws.com",$port,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect);

# Provide AWS credentials for the REST call.
$authAws = chilkat::CkAuthAws->new();
$authAws->put_AccessKey("AWS_ACCESS_KEY");
$authAws->put_SecretKey("AWS_SECRET_KEY");
$authAws->put_ServiceName("s3");
$success = $rest->SetAuthAws($authAws);

# The bucket name we want to know about is set in the HOST header.
# In this example, we want to find the region for the "chilkat.qa" bucket.
$rest->put_Host("chilkat.qa.s3.amazonaws.com");

# Send the GET request to query the bucket location.
$strResult = $rest->fullRequestNoBody("GET","/?location");
if ($rest->get_LastMethodSuccess() != 1) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$responseStatusCode = $rest->get_ResponseStatusCode();
print "Response status code = " . $responseStatusCode . "\r\n";
if ($responseStatusCode != 200) {
    print $rest->responseHeader() . "\r\n";
    print $strResult . "\r\n";
    print "Failed." . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

print $strResult . "\r\n";

# The result contains XML like this:
# <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
# <LocationConstraint xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">us-west-2</LocationConstraint>

# Get the "us-west-2" from the XML
$xml = chilkat::CkXml->new();
