(JavaScript) Glacier Initiate Archive Retrieval Job

Demonstrates how to initiate an archive retrieval job to download an archive.

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

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var rest = new CkRest();

// Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server in the desired region.
var bTls = true;
var port = 443;
var bAutoReconnect = true;
success = rest.Connect("glacier.us-west-2.amazonaws.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect);

// Provide AWS credentials.

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Note: The above REST connection and setup of the AWS credentials
// can be done once.  After connecting, any number of REST calls can be made.
// The "auto reconnect" property passed to rest.Connect indicates that if
// the connection is lost, a REST method call will automatically reconnect
// if needed.
