Google Maps Geolocation Request

Demonstrates how make a Google Maps Geolocation REST API request. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // This example duplicates the following CURL request:
    // curl -d @your_filename.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" -i "https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=YOUR_API_KEY"

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

    rest.addQueryParam(name: "key", value: "YOUR_API_KEY")
