Box: Set Up Reusable HttpCurl Requests and Outputs

See more Box Examples

One-time registration of six read-only intermediate requests and their outputs. Keep this HttpCurl object for later operations. Names select folders/files; IDs are resolved on demand. Changing an AddOutput2 name requires rebinding its literal filter and clearing affected cached IDs. Registration and ExaminePlan make no HTTP requests.

See the Box API guide for setup and the complete workflow.
