# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# When usig the REST class to access an S3 bucket that has been created in a particular region,
# there are three important things to remember:
# 
# 1) Connect to the domain that includes the region.  For example, instead of connecting to
#    "s3.amazonaws.com", connect to "s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com" if your bucket is in the EU Frankfurt region.
#    See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region   for a list of S3 region domains (endpoints)
# 
# 2) Set the AuthAws.Region property equal to the region, such as "eu-central-1".
# 
# 3) Include the region in request's Host header.
# 

# This example will upload to a bucket in the eu-central-1 region.
# 
$rest = chilkat::CkRest->new();

# Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server.
$bTls = 1;
$port = 443;
$bAutoReconnect = 1;
$success = $rest->Connect("s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com",$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");
$authAws->put_Region("eu-central-1");
$success = $rest->SetAuthAws($authAws);

# Set the bucket name via the HOST header.
# In this case, the bucket name is "chilkateufrankfurt" (which was created in the eu-central-1 region)
$rest->put_Host("chilkateufrankfurt.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com");
