Classic ASP Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+
Classic ASP
Box: Upload a File from BinData
See more Box Examples
Run the reusable setup once per HttpCurl object, then select names and execute the operation. The setup is repeated here only to make this published example independently runnable. Resolve documents by name using HttpCurl, then upload a small local PDF from BinData with Rest. The transfer is explicit after dependency resolution; no ID is entered by the caller.
See the Box API guide for setup and the complete workflow.
