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

$secrets = chilkat::CkSecrets->new();

# On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
# On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain

# 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.

# 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:

$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();
$bd = chilkat::CkBinData->new();
$success = $http->DownloadBd($url,$bd);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Create or update the binary secret.
$success = $secrets->UpdateSecretBd($json,$bd);
if ($success == 0) {
