Patch to Submit : Signed Header Request

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a nice patch to submit. It allows any client app to communicate directly 
with Amazon S3 - without the Secret Key.

We needed this because our client-side app needed to upload directly to Amazon 
S3, without proxying through our web/app server.

To accomplish this, the headers of any S3Request can be serialized into a 
SignedHeaderRequest & sent to our web/app server.  Our server can examine the 
request and sign the headers with the Secret Key, returning a 
SignedHeaderResponse to the client.  The client can then upload directly to 
Amazon S3 using the Authorization header our server signed.

We've added a new class SignedHeaderRequest / SignedHeaderResponse, along with 
the extension methods & VS2010 unit tests to implement.

Enjoy!
