Demonstrates how to create a Google Cloud Storage bucket. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    // 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..
    let sbToken = CkoStringBuilder()!
    sbToken.loadFile(path: "qa_data/tokens/googleCloudStorageAccessToken.txt", charset: "utf-8")

    // ---- Step 1
    // Create a JSON that contains the following information, replacing [VALUES_IN_BRACKETS] with the appropriate values:

    // {
    //   "name": "[BUCKET_NAME]",
    //   "location": "[BUCKET_LOCATION]",
    //   "storageClass": "[STORAGE_CLASS]"
    // }

    let json = CkoJsonObject()!
    json.updateString(jsonPath: "name", value: "chilkat-ocean")
    json.updateString(jsonPath: "location", value: "us")
    json.updateString(jsonPath: "storageClass", value: "multi_regional")

    // ---- Step 2
    // Send a POST equivalent to this curl command

    // curl -X POST --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \
    //      -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
    //      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    //      "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b?project=[PROJECT_ID]"

    let http = CkoHttp()!
    http.authToken = sbToken.getAsString()

    http.setUrlVar(name: "project_id", value: "chilkat-176611")
    var url: String? = "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b?project={$project_id}"
    let resp = CkoHttpResponse()!
    success = http.httpJson(verb: "POST", url: url, json: json, contentType: "application/json", response: resp)
    if success == false {
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    var responseCode: Int = resp.statusCode.intValue
    if responseCode == 401 {
        print("\(resp.bodyStr!)")
        print("If invalid credentials, then it is likely the access token expired.")
        print("Your app should automatically fetch a new access token and re-try.")
        return
    }

    print("Response code: \(responseCode)")
    print("Response body")
    print("\(resp.bodyStr!)")

    // A successful response looks like this:
    // Response code: 200
    // Response body
    // {
    //  "kind": "storage#bucket",
    //  "id": "chilkat-ocean",
    //  "selfLink": "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/chilkat-ocean",
    //  "projectNumber": "933037264567",
    //  "name": "chilkat-ocean",

    //  "metageneration": "1",
    //  "location": "US",
    //  "storageClass": "MULTI_REGIONAL",
    //  "etag": "CAE="
    // }
    // 

    // Parse the JSON response:
    let jsonResp = CkoJsonObject()!
    jsonResp.load(json: resp.bodyStr)

    print("name: \(jsonResp.string(of: "name")!)")
    print("timeCreated: \(jsonResp.string(of: "timeCreated")!)")

    // Parse the date/time created.
    let dt = CkoDateTime()!
    dt.set(fromTimestamp: jsonResp.string(of: "timeCreated"))
    // ...
