  //  First we want to initiate the resumable upload.

  //  Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN]          <-- Chilkat automatically adds this header because the AuthToken property was set.

  //  Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8    <-- This is the type of this POST, and is specified in the call to HttpJson.
