//  Step 1: Create an upload session

//  To begin a large file upload, your app must first request a new upload session. This creates a 
//  temporary storage location where the bytes of the file will be saved until the complete file is uploaded. 
//  Once the last byte of the file has been uploaded the upload session is completed and the final file is shown 
//  in the destination folder.

//  Send the following POST to create an upload session:
//  If not using "me", then the path should be /v1.0/users/{id | userPrincipalName}/...
//  POST /v1.0/users/{user_id}/drive/root:/{path_to_item}:/createUploadSession

http.SetUrlVar("path_to_item","/somefolder/big.zip");
http.SetUrlVar("user_id","4fe732c3-322e-4a6b-b729-2fd1eb5c6104");
string url = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{$user_id}/drive/root:/{$path_to_item}:/createUploadSession";
Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = new Chilkat.HttpResponse();
success = http.HttpStr("POST",url,"{}","utf-8","application/json",resp);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  If successful, a 200 status code is returned, with the session details (in JSON format).
Chilkat.JsonObject jsonSession = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jsonSession.EmitCompact = false;
jsonSession.Load(resp.BodyStr);

if (resp.StatusCode != 200) {

    Debug.WriteLine(jsonSession.Emit());
    Debug.WriteLine("Response status = " + Convert.ToString(resp.StatusCode));
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(jsonSession.Emit());

//  A sample response:

//  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Step 2: Upload Data in Segments (a.k.a. Fragments or Chunks)

//  Microsoft states this requirement: Use a fragment size that is a multiple of 320 KiB (320 * 1024 bytes). 
//  Failing to use a fragment size that is a multiple of 320 KiB can result in large file transfers failing after the 
//  last fragment is uploaded.  (Note: This is a detail imposed by Microsoft's OneDrive server-side implementation.)

int fragSize = 320 * 1024;
string localFilePath = "qa_data/zips/big.zip";

//  Upload the file big.zip in 320KiB segments.
//  Note: The FileSize method returns a signed 32-bit integer.  If the file is potentially larger than 2GB, call FileSizeStr instead to return
//  the size of the file as a string, then convert to an integer value.
Chilkat.FileAccess fac = new Chilkat.FileAccess();
int fileSize = fac.FileSize(localFilePath);

//  Open the file to get the number of fragments.
success = fac.OpenForRead(localFilePath);
