//  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..
Chilkat.StringBuilder sbToken = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
sbToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleCloudStorageAccessToken.txt","utf-8");

//  ---- Step 1
//  Create the JSON body of the PATCH request that will be sent.
//  This specifies labels to be added, updated, and/or deleted.
//  (To delete a label, set its value equal to null.)

//  {
//    "labels": {
//      "new_label_key": "new_label_value",
//      "existing_label_key": "updated_label_value",
//      "old_label_key": null
//    }
//  }

//  ---------
//  Important
//  ---------
//  You can apply multiple labels to each bucket, with a maximum of 64 labels per bucket.

//      - Keys and values cannot be longer than 63 characters each.
//      - Keys and values can only contain lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes. International characters are allowed.
//      - Label keys must start with a lowercase letter and international characters are allowed.
//      - Label keys cannot be empty.

//  Build JSON to update labels.
//  
//  During the testing of this example, my bucket already has the following labels:
//  {
//   "labels": {
//    "test1": "xyz",
//    "test": "abc",
//    "a": "abc"
//   }
//  }

//  For this example, I'm going to add a label "b", delete the label "test1", and update
//  the label "test".
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.UpdateString("labels.b","bbb");
json.UpdateString("labels.test","abc123");
json.UpdateNull("labels.test1");

//  ---- Step 2
//  Send a PATCH equivalent to this curl command

//  curl -X PATCH --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \
//      -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
//      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
//      "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/[BUCKET_NAME]?fields=labels"

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
http.AuthToken = sbToken.GetAsString();

http.SetUrlVar("bucket_name","chilkat-ocean");
string url = "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/{$bucket_name}?fields=labels";
Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = new Chilkat.HttpResponse();
success = http.HttpJson("PATCH",url,json,"application/json",resp);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

int responseCode = resp.StatusCode;
if (responseCode == 401) {
    Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr);
    Debug.WriteLine("If invalid credentials, then it is likely the access token expired.");
    Debug.WriteLine("Your app should automatically fetch a new access token and re-try.");
    return;
}

//  Note: A 400 response code is likely caused by illegal characters used for a label name and/or value.

Debug.WriteLine("Response code: " + Convert.ToString(responseCode));
Debug.WriteLine("Response body");
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr);

//  A response code = 200 indicates success, and the response body contains the JSON
//  for the new/updated set of labels
//  Response code: 200
//  Response body
//  {
//   "labels": {
//    "test": "abc123",
//    "a": "abc",
//    "b": "bbb"
//   }
//  }
