Swift Example

func chilkatTest() {

    var success: Bool

    //  URL: https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b?project=MY_CLOUD_STORAGE_PROJECT
    var bTls: Bool = true
    var port: Int = 443
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = true
    success = rest.Connect("www.googleapis.com", port: port, tls: bTls, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)
    if success != true {
        print("ConnectFailReason: \(rest.ConnectFailReason.intValue)")
        print("\(rest.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    //  See the Online Tool for Generating JSON Creation Code
    let json = CkoJsonObject()
    json.UpdateString("name", value: "chilkat-test-bucket")

    rest.AddHeader("Authorization", value: "Bearer CLOUD_STORAGE_TOKEN")
    rest.AddHeader("Content-Type", value: "application/json")

    let sbRequestBody = CkoStringBuilder()
    json.EmitSb(sbRequestBody)
    let sbResponseBody = CkoStringBuilder()
    success = rest.FullRequestSb("POST", uriPath: "/storage/v1/b?project=MY_CLOUD_STORAGE_PROJECT", requestBody: sbRequestBody, responseBody: sbResponseBody)
    if success != true {
        print("\(rest.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    var respStatusCode: Int = rest.ResponseStatusCode.intValue
    if respStatusCode >= 400 {
        print("Response Status Code = \(respStatusCode)")
        print("Response Header:")
        print("\(rest.ResponseHeader)")
        print("Response Body:")
        print("\(sbResponseBody.GetAsString())")
        return
    }

    let jsonResponse = CkoJsonObject()
    jsonResponse.LoadSb(sbResponseBody)
