func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

    let http = CkoHttp()!

    // Provide a previously obtained OAuth2 access token.
    // See Get Box OAuth2 Access Token.
    http.authToken = "BOX_ACCESS_TOKEN"

    http.followRedirects = true

    // The file is specified by the file ID.
    // In this case, we're downloading a file with FILE_ID = 371828468442
    // The general form of the URL for downloading is: https://api.box.com/2.0/files/FILE_ID/content
    let sb = CkoStringBuilder()!
