# 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:
$url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish20.jpg"
$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http
$bd = New-Object Chilkat.BinData
$success = $http.DownloadBd($url,$bd)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

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