// 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.

// {
//   "storageClass": "[STORAGE_CLASS]"
// }
//

// Be careful if using the "regional" storage class.  See the note below about the 400 error response.

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

// curl -X PUT --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \
