#  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:

#  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")
