Configure AWS Signature Authentication for REST

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.SetAuthAws, which associates an AuthAws provider so Chilkat signs each request using AWS Signature Version 4. The provider supplies the access key, secret key, region, and service name.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean = True
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  Configure AWS Signature Version 4 request signing.  Provide the access key, secret key, region,
'  and service name.
Dim authAws As New Chilkat.AuthAws
'  Normally you would not hard-code secrets in source.  You should instead obtain them from an
'  interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
authAws.AccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY"
authAws.SecretKey = "AWS_SECRET_KEY"
authAws.Region = "us-east-1"
authAws.ServiceName = "s3"

'  Associate the provider so Chilkat signs each request according to AWS requirements.
success = rest.SetAuthAws(authAws)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim responseText As String = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine(responseText)
