Chilkat.AuthAws authAws = new Chilkat.AuthAws();
authAws.AccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY";

rest.SetAuthAws(authAws);

//  URL: https://chilkat.ocean.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/starfishCopy.jpg
bool bTls = true;
int port = 443;
bool bAutoReconnect = true;
success = rest.Connect("chilkat.ocean.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine("ConnectFailReason: " + Convert.ToString(rest.ConnectFailReason));

Chilkat.StringBuilder sbResponseBody = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
success = rest.FullRequestNoBodySb("DELETE","/starfishCopy.jpg",sbResponseBody);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

int respStatusCode = rest.ResponseStatusCode;
if (respStatusCode >= 400) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Response Status Code = " + Convert.ToString(respStatusCode));
    Debug.WriteLine("Response Header:");
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.ResponseHeader);
    Debug.WriteLine("Response Body:");
