local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- keyID = Access Key ID or Access Key
http.aws_access_key = "access-key"

local bucketName = "chilkat-test"
local objectName = "orchard.json"

-- This is the byte representation of the text file downloaded from Backblaze.

local charset = "utf-8"

local fileContents = http:s3_download_string(bucketName, objectName, charset)
