// First we want to initiate the resumable upload.
// We send a POST to get a session URI, which will be used to upload the file, and resume if needed.

// Our POST will look like this:

// POST https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=resumable HTTP/1.1
// Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN]          <-- Chilkat automatically adds this header because the AuthToken property was set.
// Content-Length: 38                               <-- Chilkat will automatically add this header.
// Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8    <-- This is the type of this POST, and is specified in the call to HttpJson.
// X-Upload-Content-Type: application/zip           <-- The type of file we'll be uploading
// X-Upload-Content-Length: 1366807                 <-- The size of the file we'll be uploading
// 
// {
//   "name": "myObject"
// }

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The next step is to upload the file using the session URI:

// We'll send a PUT that looks like this:

// PUT https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=resumable&upload_id=xa298sd_sdlkj2 HTTP/1.1
// Content-Length: 1366807
// Content-Type: application/zip
// 
// [BYTES 0-1366806]

// First remove the X-Upload-Content-Type and X-Upload-Content-Length request headers we specified earlier, so they don't get sent with subsequent requests.
http.ClearHeaders 

// Because the file is likely large, we'll use HttpSReq which allows to to pass an HTTP request object where the body can be streamed directly from a file.
