Glacier Download Archive

See more Amazon Glacier Examples

Demonstrates how to download an Amazon Glacier archive. Downloading a Glacier archive is a two step process. First an archive retrieval job is initiated. After it completes, the job output is downloaded (i.e. the archive contents are downloaded.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.

    // can be done once.  After connecting, any number of REST calls can be made.

    // the connection is lost, a REST method call will automatically reconnect
    // if needed.
