'  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

'  See Get Firebase Access Token from JSON Service Account Private Key for sample code.

'  Load the previously obtained Firebase access token into a string.

'  Note: In many of the Chilkat examples, you may notice strange ways
'  of doing something that should be simpler and shorter.  For example,
'  building the path (above) could've been written differently,
'  with some simple string concatenation.
'  
'  The reason is that the Chilkat examples are written in a 
'  proprietary "example code" scripting language,
'  and then automatically generated to each of the different programming
'  languages you see on example-code.com.  The code generation is
'  limited in what it can do.  For example, string concatentation
'  is not yet a feature of the "example code" scripting language (as of May 2016), 
'  and therefore you won't see the use of a programming language's string
'  concatentation operators in any example.
