* This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

* This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
* scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"

* In this example, Get Google Cloud Storage OAuth2 Access Token, 
* the service account access token was saved to a text file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
loSbToken = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loSbToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleCloudStorageAccessToken.txt","utf-8")

* Send a GET equivalent to this curl command.

* curl -X GET \
*     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
*     -o "[SAVE_TO_LOCATION]" \
*     "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/[BUCKET_NAME]/o/[OBJECT_NAME]?projection=full"

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

loHttp.AuthToken = loSbToken.GetAsString()

* Construct a URL to download the metadata for the object named "starfish.jpg" located in the "chilkat-ocean" bucket.
loHttp.SetUrlVar("bucket_name","chilkat-ocean")
loHttp.SetUrlVar("object_name","starfish.jpg")
lcUrl = "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/{$bucket_name}/o/{$object_name}?projection=full"

* If there is an error response, then we didn't actually download the metadata,
* but instead we downloaded an error response..
loSbMetaData = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
