Postgresql :unable to Install HTTP extension on Amazon RDS

I am trying to get response from API into Postsgresql. For this I have installed respective HTTP extension from

http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/371-http-extension-for-windows-64-and-32-bit.html

In my local system . Current issue is that my database server is on amazon aws. So now I want to replicate same files/modules on server. But I'm not much aware about it. While I have tried 

create extension http

then after I tried to get to know the supported extension by using this 

show rds.extensions

Then I didn't found the HTTP extension there.

SO please let me know how can I place downloaded HTTP extension file on amazon rds??

If the extension is not among the supported ones from ...

SHOW rds.extensions;

... then you are out of luck, for all I know.

In particular, the "http extension" requires to install binaries in the file system of a Windows server.

The RDS Postgres installations I know run on Red Hat Linux, not Windows. And Amazon does not allow direct access to the underlying file system - which can be a pain. We tried to install additional unaccent dictionaries, but no dice.

You could talk to their support, maybe you have more luck.
