//  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..

//  Create the JSON body of the PUT request that will be sent.

//  Be careful if using the "regional" storage class.  See the note below about the 400 error response.

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

//  curl -X PUT --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \
//      -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
