How to read Amazon S3 files from Salesforce by using REST API

Hi, I would like to get some information or sample code about how to read an external file (ie. pdf file) which is located at AWS S3. I´ve already know there is a toolkit to do that, but I also found out that Amazon has deprecated SOAP for their services and it would be sooner or later when they decide not to support anymore new SOAP request (now for example they do it only in https calls and said they won't updgrade SOAP methods, according to their documentation).

Any help on this with some sample code would be appreciated.

Hi Wilmer , 

I have done Amazon S3 integration with force.com in my previous projects but with SOAP only , 

since now they are moving from SOAP to REST then it will be any normal REST api call over HTTP ,

I found this 
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTServiceGET.html docs for their GET services , All you have to do is to get auth key and make request e.g.
 
String endpoint ='s3.amazonaws.com';

Http http=new Http();

HttpRequest request=new HttpRequest();
request.setMethod('Get');
request.setEndpoint(endpoint);
req.setHeader('Authorization', AuthKey); //Authkey will be key you get from amazon
 
HTTPResponse res = http.send(req);




Thanks ,
