*  The HTTP component now includes a method to generate
*  the current date/time in RFC 2616 compliant format.
*  Note: The GenTimeStamp method is available as a pre-release (as of 18-June-2008).
*  It will become available in the next new version dated after
*  18-June-2008.

*  We want SHA1 for the HMAC hash algorithm:
loCrypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha1"

*  These must be changed for your account:

lcAWSAccessKeyId = "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

lcAWSSecretAccessKey = "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

*  Set the HMAC secret key:
loCrypt.SetHmacKeyString(lcAWSSecretAccessKey)

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

*  Indicate that Base64 output is desired:
loCrypt.EncodingMode = "base64"

lcSignature = loCrypt.HmacStringENC(lcStrToSign)

lcAuthValue = "AWS " + lcAWSAccessKeyId + ":" + lcSignature

*  The bucket to be created is specified in the Host header.
*  In this example, the "chilkat" bucket is created:
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Host","chilkat.s3.amazonaws.com")

loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Authorization",lcAuthValue)
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Date",lcCurDateTime)
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Content-Length","0")

lcXmlResponse = loHttp.QuickPutStr("http://s3.amazonaws.com/")
IF (lcXmlResponse = NULL ) THEN
    *  Failed.  Show the last request header, response header,
    *  and response body.

    *  Success is indicated by an empty xmlResponse string, and
    *  a response status of 200.

        *  Let's check out the response header anyway...
