        // 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..
        StringBuilder sbToken = new StringBuilder();
        sbToken.loadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleCloudStorageAccessToken.txt", "utf-8");

        // ---- Step 1
        // Create the JSON body of the PATCH request that will be sent.
        // This specifies labels to be added, updated, and/or deleted.
        // (To delete a label, set its value equal to null.)

        // {
        //   "labels": {
        //     "new_label_key": "new_label_value",
        //     "existing_label_key": "updated_label_value",
        //     "old_label_key": null
        //   }
        // }

        // ---------
        // Important
        // ---------
        // You can apply multiple labels to each bucket, with a maximum of 64 labels per bucket.

        //     - Keys and values cannot be longer than 63 characters each.
        //     - Keys and values can only contain lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes. International characters are allowed.
        //     - Label keys must start with a lowercase letter and international characters are allowed.
        //     - Label keys cannot be empty.

        // Build JSON to update labels.
        //
        // During the testing of this example, my bucket already has the following labels:
        // {
        //  "labels": {
        //   "test1": "xyz",
        //   "test": "abc",
        //   "a": "abc"
        //  }
        // }

        // For this example, I'm going to add a label "b", delete the label "test1", and update
        // the label "test".
        JsonObject json = new JsonObject();
        json.updateString("labels.b", "bbb");
        json.updateString("labels.test", "abc123");
        json.updateNull("labels.test1");

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

        // curl -X PATCH --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \
        //     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
        //     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        //     "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/[BUCKET_NAME]?fields=labels"

        Http http = new Http();
        http.setAuthToken(sbToken.getAsString());

        http.setUrlVar("bucket_name", "chilkat-ocean");
        String url = "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/{$bucket_name}?fields=labels";

            System.out.println(e.getLastErrorText());
            return;

            return;
        }

        // for the new/updated set of labels
        // Response code: 200
        // Response body
        // {
