// Step 1: Create an upload session

// To begin a large file upload, your app must first request a new upload session. This creates a 
// temporary storage location where the bytes of the file will be saved until the complete file is uploaded. 
// Once the last byte of the file has been uploaded the upload session is completed and the final file is shown 
// in the destination folder.

// Send the following POST to create an upload session:
// If not using "me", then the path should be /v1.0/users/{id | userPrincipalName}/...
// POST /v1.0/users/{user_id}/drive/root:/{path_to_item}:/createUploadSession

[http SetUrlVar: @"path_to_item" value: @"/somefolder/big.zip"];

CkoHttpResponse *resp = [[CkoHttpResponse alloc] init];
success = [http HttpStr: @"POST" url: url bodyStr: @"{}" charset: @"utf-8" contentType: @"application/json" response: resp];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// If successful, a 200 status code is returned, with the session details (in JSON format).
CkoJsonObject *jsonSession = [[CkoJsonObject alloc] init];
jsonSession.EmitCompact = NO;
[jsonSession Load: resp.BodyStr];

if ([resp.StatusCode intValue] != 200) {

    NSLog(@"%@",[jsonSession Emit]);
    NSLog(@"%@%d",@"Response status = ",[resp.StatusCode intValue]);
    return;
}

// Step 2: Upload Data in Segments (a.k.a. Fragments or Chunks)

// Microsoft states this requirement: Use a fragment size that is a multiple of 320 KiB (320 * 1024 bytes). 
// Failing to use a fragment size that is a multiple of 320 KiB can result in large file transfers failing after the 
// last fragment is uploaded.  (Note: This is a detail imposed by Microsoft's OneDrive server-side implementation.)

// Note: The FileSize method returns a signed 32-bit integer.  If the file is potentially larger than 2GB, call FileSizeStr instead to return
// the size of the file as a string, then convert to an integer value.
