Demonstrates how to create an Amazon S3 bucket by sending a PUT HTTP request.

#  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:
crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha1")

#  These must be changed for your account:
AWSAccessKeyId = "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
AWSSecretAccessKey = "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

#  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.put_Charset("utf-8")

#  Indicate that Base64 output is desired:
crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64")

signature = crypt.hmacStringENC(strToSign)

authValue = "AWS " + AWSAccessKeyId + ":" + signature

#  The bucket to be created is specified in the Host header.
#  In this example, the "chilkat" bucket is created:
