Demonstrates how to create or update a binary secret stored in the IBM Cloud Secrets.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.0 or later.

        // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

        // The bootstrap secret will contain the following information:

        // IBM Cloud API Key

        // See following examples for setting up a bootstrap secret in memory,
        // or in the local manager (Windows Credentials Manager or Apple Keychain)
        // Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager
        // Setup Bootstrap Secret in Memory

        // Can be "local_manager" or "memory", depending on how you setup the bootstrap secret.
        // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        // If your operating system is NOT Windows or MacOS/iOS, then change "local_manager" to "memory"
        // You can also, if desired, use "memory" on Windows and MacOS/iOS if your bootstrap secret was previously setup in memory.
        // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        // The purpose of this example is to show how arbitrary binary data
        // can be stored as a secret.

        // We'll use a small JPG image that is approximately 6KB in size.
        // You can test using this same JPG at this URL:
        String url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg";
        Http http = new Http();
        BinData bd = new BinData();
        try {
            http.downloadBd(url, bd);

            // Create or update the binary secret.
            secrets.updateSecretBd(json, bd);
        } catch (ChilkatException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getLastErrorText());
            return;
        }
