Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
set http = CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

' Insert your AWS keys here:
http.AwsAccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY"
http.AwsSecretKey = "AWS_SECRET_KEY"

bucketName = "chilkat.ocean"
objectName = "seahorse.jpg"
localFilePath = "qa_data/jpg/seahorse.jpg"
contentType = "image/jpg"

' User-defined metadata are name/value pairs, and are added to the HTTP request header.
' Header names must begin with "x-amz-meta-" to distinguish them from other HTTP headers.
' Note that Amazon S3 stores user-defined metadata keys in lowercase.

' For example, to add genus=Hippocampus, we do this:
http.SetRequestHeader "x-amz-meta-genus","Hippocampus"

' Add a few more user-metadata key pairs.
http.SetRequestHeader "x-amz-meta-species","big-belly seahorse"
http.SetRequestHeader "x-amz-meta-habitat","shallow tropical and temperate waters"

success = http.S3_UploadFile(localFilePath,contentType,bucketName,objectName)

If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
Else
    outFile.WriteLine("File uploaded.")
End If


outFile.Close
