func chilkatTest() {
    // This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage.
    var success: Bool

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

    let gAuth = CkoAuthGoogle()
    // Obtain an access token as shown in one of the following examples:
    // See Get Access Token using a Service Account JSON Key
    // See Get Access Token using a P12 File

    let rest = CkoRest()

    // Connect using TLS.
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = true
    success = rest.Connect("www.googleapis.com", port: 443, tls: true, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)

    // Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
    success = rest.SetAuthGoogle(gAuth)

    // Build the JSON request body for creating a bucket.
    // The only required property is the "name", but we'll add more
    // to make a better example..
    let jsonReqBody = CkoJsonObject()
    success = jsonReqBody.AddStringAt(-1, name: "name", value: "chilkat-bucket-c")
    success = jsonReqBody.AddStringAt(-1, name: "kind", value: "storage#bucket")
    success = jsonReqBody.AddStringAt(-1, name: "location", value: "US")
    success = jsonReqBody.AddObjectAt(-1, name: "versioning")

    var pObjVersioning: CkoJsonObject? = jsonReqBody.ObjectOf("versioning")
    success = pObjVersioning!.AddBoolAt(-1, name: "enabled", value: true)
    pObjVersioning = nil

    // Show the HTTP request body we'll be sending.
    print("\(jsonReqBody.Emit())")

    // Add the required query parameter.
    // See https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/buckets/insert
    success = rest.AddQueryParam("project", value: "chilkattest-1050")

    // Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
    success = rest.AddHeader("Content-Type", value: "application/json; charset=UTF-8")

    var jsonResponseStr: String? = rest.FullRequestString("POST", uriPath: "/storage/v1/b", bodyText: jsonReqBody.Emit())
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("\(rest.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }
