# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

# 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..

# Create the JSON body of the PUT request that will be sent.

# ---- Step 2
# Send a PUT equivalent to this curl command

# curl -X PUT --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \
