Get

  1. The function block is started by setting the variable bGetAWSSigV4 in the main program to TRUE.
  2. The rising edge is then used to send a GET request with the function block IotHttpRequest.
  3. Once the request is complete, an error handling routine is invoked. If both the function block itself and the HTTP status code are error-free, the XML response can be parsed by the web server in the PLC program (the response of the AWS REST API can become quite long, so sufficient memory should be reserved for this purpose, and it may be advisable to test the procedure with an HTTP test client).
Get 1:

Alphabetical sorting required

The request URL must be sorted alphabetically, ditto the signed header. In the case of the signed header, this is handled by the IoT driver; in the case of the request URL, it is the responsibility of the user, otherwise an error message will be issued by the HTTP server.
