I got a partial solution, by abandoning stream and using RESTapi instead.

I logged on with Excel and curl ([Documents not downloading, invalid ID - #7 by csmith](https://forum.aws.chdev.org/t/documents-not-downloading-invalid-id/544/7)).

I also got JS/XHR to work - load the client-side file to your server and enter the domain into the ‘create key’ rest section under JavaScript domains.

Thanks for everyones help!
