'  We want SHA1 for the HMAC hash algorithm:

'  Set the HMAC secret key:
crypt.SetHmacKeyString AWSSecretAccessKey

'  By setting the charset = "utf-8", the string will be converted
'  to utf-8 (internal to the Chilkat component) prior to signing:
crypt.Charset = "utf-8"

'  Indicate that Base64 output is desired:
crypt.EncodingMode = "base64"

signature = crypt.HmacStringENC(strToSign)
Response.Write Server.HTMLEncode( crypt.LastErrorText) & "<br>"

'  Display the signature as part of the HTTP Authorization header:
Response.Write Server.HTMLEncode( "Authorization: AWS " _
     & AWSAccessKeyId & ":" & signature) & "<br>"
