I am interested in making requests of Amazon Web Services's S3
service, which requires an hmac-sha1 routine.  I don't suppose
hmac-sha1 is available in eXist?  I have my S3 request ready, but I
just need an hmac-sha1 function to sign the request.

By the way, I am thinking of adapting the XAWS (XQuery AWS) module to
eXist - see http://sourceforge.net/p/xaws/home/ for files and
http://www.xquery.co.uk/modules/index for documentation.  Built around
Zorba, it makes use of some Zorba-specific extensions such as
hmac:sha1().

Thanks,
Joe
