    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    secrets := chilkat.NewSecrets()

    // On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
    // On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
    secrets.SetLocation("local_manager")

    // Specify the name of the secret.
    // service and username are required.
    // appName and domain are optional.
    // Note: The values are arbitrary and can be anything you want.
    json := chilkat.NewJsonObject()
    json.UpdateString("appName","Test2")
    json.UpdateString("service","Custom")
    json.UpdateString("domain","Ocean")
    json.UpdateString("username","Starfish20")

    // 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:

    bd := chilkat.NewBinData()
    success := http.DownloadBd(url,bd)
