    // service and username are required.
    // appName and domain are optional.

    // The purpose of this example is to show how arbitrary binary data
    // can be stored as a secret.

    // We'll use a small JPG image that is approximately 2KB in size.
    // You can test using this same JPG at this URL:
    const char *url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish20.jpg";
    CkHttp http;
    CkBinData bd;
    bool success = http.DownloadBd(url,bd);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << http.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Create or update the binary secret.
    success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json,bd);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << secrets.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << "Success." << "\r\n";
    }
