Get Google API Access Token using JSON Private Key using NIST Time Server Date/Time

Demonstrates how to get a Google API access token using a JSON service account private key, using the NIST time server date/time rather than the local system date/time.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First, let's get the current date/time from time-c.nist.gov
let socket = chilkat::Socket::new();

// Connect to an NIST time server and read the current date/time
let mut max_wait_ms = 8000;
let use_tls = false;

    println!("{}", socket.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// The time server will send a big-endian 32-bit integer representing
// the number of seconds since since 00:00 (midnight) 1 January 1900 GMT.
// The ReceiveInt32 method will receive a 4-byte integer, but returns
// true or false to indicate success.  If successful, the integer
// is obtained via the ReceivedInt property.
let big_endian = true;
if socket.receive_int32(big_endian).is_err() {
    println!("{}", socket.last_error_text());

let dt = chilkat::DateTime::new();

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// OK, we have the current date/time.  We'll use it to set the IAT property
// in the code below.

// First load the JSON key into a string.
