ColdFusion: AWS Task 4: Add the Signing Information to the Request
<!---
CFML translation of Amazon Web Services Example - Task 4:

<h1>Task 4: Add the Signing Information to the Request</h1>
<div>
After you calculate the signature, you add it to the request. You can add the signing information to a request in one of two ways:
<ol>
<li>An HTTP header named Authorization</li>
<li>The query string</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Pseudocode showing construction of the Authorization header.</strong>
<pre>
Authorization: algorithm Credential=access key ID/credential scope, SignedHeaders=SignedHeaders, Signature=signature
</pre>
