function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

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

    var http = new chilkat.Http();

    // Insert your AWS keys here:
    http.AwsAccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY";
    http.AwsSecretKey = "AWS_SECRET_KEY";

    var bucketName = "chilkat.ocean";
    var objectName = "seahorse.jpg";
    var localFilePath = "qa_data/jpg/seahorse.jpg";
    var contentType = "image/jpg";

    // User-defined metadata are name/value pairs, and are added to the HTTP request header.
    // Header names must begin with "x-amz-meta-" to distinguish them from other HTTP headers.
    // Note that Amazon S3 stores user-defined metadata keys in lowercase.

    // For example, to add genus=Hippocampus, we do this:
    http.SetRequestHeader("x-amz-meta-genus","Hippocampus");

    // Add a few more user-metadata key pairs.
    http.SetRequestHeader("x-amz-meta-species","big-belly seahorse");
    http.SetRequestHeader("x-amz-meta-habitat","shallow tropical and temperate waters");

    success = http.S3_UploadFile(localFilePath,contentType,bucketName,objectName);

        console.log(http.LastErrorText);
