Backblaze S3 Download String

See more Backblaze S3 Examples

Demonstrates how to download a textual object into a string variable.

The Chilkat S3 functions in the HTTP class are compatible with the Backblaze service. However, because of some specific issues, Chilkat v9.5.0.89 or later is needed.

VB.NET

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

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

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

' applicationKey = Secret Access Key or Secret Key
http.AwsSecretKey = "secret-key"

' Region is the 2nd part of your S3 Endpoint
http.AwsEndpoint = "s3.us-west-002.backblazeb2.com"

Dim bucketName As String = "chilkat-test"
Dim objectName As String = "orchard.json"

' This is the byte representation of the text file downloaded from Backblaze.
' It must be specified to allow Chilkat to correctly interpret the bytes as characters.
Dim charset As String = "utf-8"

Dim fileContents As String = http.S3_DownloadString(bucketName,objectName,charset)

If (http.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
Else
    Debug.WriteLine(fileContents)
    Debug.WriteLine("Success.")
End If
