#  First we want to initiate the resumable upload.
#  We send a POST to get a session URI, which will be used to upload the file, and resume if needed.

#  Our POST will look like this:

#  POST https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=resumable HTTP/1.1
#  Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN]          <-- Chilkat automatically adds this header because the AuthToken property was set.
#  Content-Length: 38                               <-- Chilkat will automatically add this header.
#  Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8    <-- This is the type of this POST, and is specified in the call to HttpJson.
#  X-Upload-Content-Type: application/zip           <-- The type of file we'll be uploading
#  X-Upload-Content-Length: 1366807                 <-- The size of the file we'll be uploading
