Javascript to download a file from amazon s3 bucket?

Question

I was trying to download a file from a bucket on Amazon S3. I was wondering if I can write a javascript to download such a file from a bucket. I was googling it, but couldn't find any resources that can help me do that.

Some steps in mind are: authenticate Amazon S3, then by providing bucket name, and file(key), download or read the file so that I can be able to display the data in the file.

Thanks,

Maybe you can use AWS Node.js API:

var AWS = require('aws-sdk'); AWS.config.update(   {     accessKeyId: ".. your key ..",     secretAccessKey: ".. your secret key ..",   } ); var s3 = new AWS.S3(); s3.getObject(   { Bucket: "my-bucket", Key: "my-picture.jpg" },   function (error, data) {     if (error != null) {       alert("Failed to retrieve an object: " + error);     } else {       alert("Loaded " + data.ContentLength + " bytes");       // do something with data.Body     }   } );
