(Go) Send JSON REST Request, Get JSON Response

Demonstrates sending a RESTful JSON request, and receiving a JSON response. This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage (which involves sending and receiving JSON).

    // This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage.
    var success bool

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

    gAuth := chilkat.NewAuthGoogle()
    // Obtain an access token as shown in one of the following examples:
    // See Get Access Token using a Service Account JSON Key
    // See Get Access Token using a P12 File

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()

    // Connect using TLS.
    bAutoReconnect := true
    success = rest.Connect("www.googleapis.com",443,true,bAutoReconnect)

    // Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
    success = rest.SetAuthGoogle(gAuth)

    // Build the JSON request body for creating a bucket.
    // The only required property is the "name", but we'll add more
    // to make a better example..
