REST Read Binary Response into BinData Object (Amazon S3)

Demonstrates how to make a REST call that returns a binary response body. This example is valid for files that fit in memory. The example shows how to download a JPG from the Amazon S3 service. Perl

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

# Important: For buckets created in regions outside us-east-1,
# there are three important changes that need to be made.
