Chilkat Xojo Plugin Download Xojo Plugin for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and ARM, ARM64

// Demonstrates how to use older AWS S3 Signature Version 2 for uploading the contents
// of a string variable to an object in a bucket.

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

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest

// Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server.
Dim bTls As Boolean
bTls = True
Dim port As Int32
port = 443
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean
bAutoReconnect = True
// The file is uploaded to the bucket named "chilkat100", which becomes part of the domain:
Dim success As Boolean
success = rest.Connect("chilkat100.s3.amazonaws.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Important: For buckets created in regions outside us-east-1,
// there are three important changes that need to be made.
// See Working with S3 Buckets in Non-us-east-1 Regions for the details.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Provide AWS credentials for the REST call.
Dim authAws As New Chilkat.AuthAws
authAws.AccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY"
authAws.SecretKey = "AWS_SECRET_KEY"
authAws.ServiceName = "s3"

// For AWS Signature Version 2, the following two properties need to be set:
authAws.SignatureVersion = 2
// See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAuthentication.html#ConstructingTheCanonicalizedResourceElement
// The bucket is "chilkat100", and the uriPath is "/hamlet_play.xml", which must match
// the URI path passed to the FullRequestString method below.
authAws.CanonicalizedResourceV2 = "/chilkat100/hamlet_play.xml"

success = rest.SetAuthAws(authAws)

// Load a text file into memory.
Dim fac As New Chilkat.FileAccess
Dim fileContents As String
fileContents = fac.ReadEntireTextFile("qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml","utf-8")
If (fac.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(fac.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// To send the file in gzip or deflate compressed format, set the Content-Encoding request
// header to "gzip" or "deflate".  (this is optional)
success = rest.AddHeader("Content-Encoding","gzip")

// Indicate the Content-Type of our upload.  (This is optional)
success = rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","text/xml")

// We can add an "Expect: 100-continue" header so that if the request is rejected
// by the server immediately after receiving the request header, it can respond
// and the client (Chilkat) can avoid sending the file data.
// (this is optional)
success = rest.AddHeader("Expect","100-continue")

// Upload the file to Amazon S3.
Dim responseBodyStr As String
responseBodyStr = rest.FullRequestString("PUT","/hamlet_play.xml",fileContents)

    System.DebugLog(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Did we get a 200 response indicating success?
Dim statusCode As Int32
statusCode = rest.ResponseStatusCode
If (statusCode <> 200) Then
    System.DebugLog("Error response: " + responseBodyStr)
    System.DebugLog("Status code: " + Str(statusCode) + ", Status text: " + rest.ResponseStatusText)
