S3 Upload the Parts for a Multipart Upload

See more Amazon S3 (new) Examples

This example uploads a large file in parts. The multipart upload needs to have been first initiated prior to uploading the parts.

See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/mpUploadUploadPart.html for more information about uploading parts.

# In the 1st step for uploading a large file, the multipart upload was initiated
# as shown here: Initiate Multipart Upload

# Other S3 Multipart Upload Examples:
# Complete Multipart Upload
# Abort Multipart Upload
# List Parts

# When we initiated the multipart upload, we saved the XML response to a file.  This
# XML response contains the UploadId.  We'll begin by loading that XML and getting
# the Upload ID.

# When uploading parts, we need to keep an XML record of each part number
# and its corresponding ETag, which is received in the response for each part.
# There can be up to 10000 parts, numbered 1 to 10000.  
# After all parts have been uploaded, the final step will be to complete
# the multipart upload (see Complete Multipart Upload)

# In this example, the large file we want to upload is somethingBig.zip
fileToUploadPath = "s3_multipart_uploads/somethingBig.zip"

# The minimum allowed part size is 5MB (5242880 bytes).  The last part can be smaller because
# it will contain the remainder of the file.  (This minimum is enforced by the AWS service.)
# We'll use the minimum allowed part size for this example.
partSize = 5242880

# Let's use Chilkat's FileAccess API to examine the file to be uploaded.  We'll get the size
# of the file and find out how many parts will be needed, including the final "partial" part.

# Imagine that we may be running this for the 1st time, or maybe we already
# attempted to upload parts, and something failed. Maybe there was a network problem
# the resulted in not all parts getting uploaded.  We'll write this code so that if run again,
# it will upload whatever parts haven't yet been uploaded.

# We'll keep a partsList.xml file to record the parts that have already been successfully
# uploaded.  If this file does not yet exist, we'll create it..
