S3 Upload the Parts for a Multipart Upload

See more Amazon S3 (new) Examples

This example uploads a large file in parts. The multipart upload needs to have been first initiated prior to uploading the parts.

See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/mpUploadUploadPart.html for more information about uploading parts.

//  Other S3 Multipart Upload Examples:
//  Complete Multipart Upload

//  When we initiated the multipart upload, we saved the XML response to a file.  This
//  XML response contains the UploadId.  We'll begin by loading that XML and getting
//  the Upload ID.

//  When uploading parts, we need to keep an XML record of each part number

//  There can be up to 10000 parts, numbered 1 to 10000.  
//  After all parts have been uploaded, the final step will be to complete
