Demonstrates how to upload a file with SPACE chars in the name to Google Cloud Storage. Lua

-- 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..

-- Send a POST equivalent to this curl command.
-- The content of the file is contained in the request body.

-- curl -X POST --data-binary @[OBJECT] \
--     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
--     -H "Content-Type: [OBJECT_CONTENT_TYPE]" \
