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

// This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
// scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"

// In this example, Get Google Cloud Storage OAuth2 Access Token, 
// the service account access token was saved to a text file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
CkoStringBuilder *sbToken = [[CkoStringBuilder alloc] init];
[sbToken LoadFile: @"qa_data/tokens/googleCloudStorageAccessToken.txt" charset: @"utf-8"];

// Send a POST equivalent to this curl command.
// The content of the file is contained in the request body.

// curl -X POST --data-binary @[OBJECT] \
//     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
//     -H "Content-Type: [OBJECT_CONTENT_TYPE]" \
//     "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/storage/v1/b/[BUCKET_NAME]/o?uploadType=media&name=[OBJECT_NAME]"

// Create an XML document, and write it to a StringBuilder.
// We'll be uploading this XML document.

// Write the XML to sbXml.
CkoStringBuilder *sbXml = [[CkoStringBuilder alloc] init];
[xml GetXmlSb: sbXml];

// sbXml contains this:

// <note>
//     <to>Tove</to>
//     <from>Jani</from>
//     <heading>Reminder</heading>
