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

set http = CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

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

' 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"
