// First we want to initiate the resumable upload.
// We send a POST to get a session URI, which will be used to upload the file, and resume if needed.

// Our POST will look like this:

// POST https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=resumable HTTP/1.1
// Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN]          <-- Chilkat automatically adds this header because the AuthToken property was set.
// Content-Length: 38                               <-- Chilkat will automatically add this header.
// Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8    <-- This is the type of this POST, and is specified in the call to HttpJson.
// X-Upload-Content-Type: application/zip           <-- The type of file we'll be uploading
// X-Upload-Content-Length: 1366807                 <-- The size of the file we'll be uploading
// 
// {

// The next step is to upload the file using the session URI:
