Javascript to download a file from amazon s3 bucket?

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

    }

  }

);
