S3 Upload the Parts for a Multipart Upload

See more Amazon S3 (new) Examples

This example uploads a large file in parts. The multipart upload needs to have been first initiated prior to uploading the parts.

See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/mpUploadUploadPart.html for more information about uploading parts.

    // In the 1st step for uploading a large file, the multipart upload was initiated
    // as shown here: Initiate Multipart Upload

    // Other S3 Multipart Upload Examples:
    // Complete Multipart Upload
    // Abort Multipart Upload
    // List Parts

    // When we initiated the multipart upload, we saved the XML response to a file.  This
    // XML response contains the UploadId.  We'll begin by loading that XML and getting
    // the Upload ID.

    // When uploading parts, we need to keep an XML record of each part number
    // and its corresponding ETag, which is received in the response for each part.
    // There can be up to 10000 parts, numbered 1 to 10000.  
    // After all parts have been uploaded, the final step will be to complete
    // the multipart upload (see Complete Multipart Upload)

    // it will contain the remainder of the file.  (This minimum is enforced by the AWS service.)
    // We'll use the minimum allowed part size for this example.
    var partSize = 5242880;

    // attempted to upload parts, and something failed. Maybe there was a network problem
    // the resulted in not all parts getting uploaded.  We'll write this code so that if run again,
    // it will upload whatever parts haven't yet been uploaded.
