' 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..

' ---- Step 1
' Create the JSON body of the PUT request that will be sent.

json.UpdateString("storageClass","nearline")

' ---- Step 2
' Send a PUT equivalent to this curl command

' curl -X PUT --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \
'     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
'     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
