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

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

# Insert your access key here:
http.put_AwsAccessKey("AWS_ACCESS_KEY")

# Insert your secret key here:
http.put_AwsSecretKey("AWS_SECRET_KEY")

# In this example, my bucket is "chilkat100".
# It contains a number of folders, one of which is named "images".
# I want to get a list of all sub-folders under the "images" folder
strXml = http.s3_ListBucketObjects("chilkat100?prefix=images/&delimiter=/")
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() != True):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Response status code = " + str(http.get_LastStatus()))

xml = chilkat.CkXml()
success = xml.LoadXml(strXml)
if (success != True):
    print(xml.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# If the response status code was not 200, then the XML response is not a 
# listing of objects, but instead contains error information.
if (http.get_LastStatus() != 200):
    print(xml.getXml())
    print("Failed.")
    sys.exit()

# A sample response is shown below.
print(xml.getXml())
print("----")

# Here is the list of sub-folders (i.e. CommonPrefixes)

# <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
# <ListBucketResult xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
#     <Name>chilkat100</Name>
#     <Prefix>images/</Prefix>
#     <Marker/>
#     <MaxKeys>1000</MaxKeys>
#     <Delimiter>/</Delimiter>
#     <IsTruncated>false</IsTruncated>
#     <CommonPrefixes>
#         <Prefix>images/africa/</Prefix>
#     </CommonPrefixes>
#     <CommonPrefixes>
#         <Prefix>images/sea_creatures/</Prefix>
#     </CommonPrefixes>
# </ListBucketResult>

# The XML can be parsed like this:
i = 0
count_i = xml.NumChildrenHavingTag("CommonPrefixes")
while i < count_i :
    xml.put_I(i)
    Prefix = xml.getChildContent("CommonPrefixes[i]|Prefix")
    print("Prefix = " + Prefix)
    i = i + 1
