title: How to create a folder on Google Drive using javascript
body: <p>Right now I'm using this code to upload files to Google Drive:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/11657773/1715263">https://stackoverflow.com/a/11657773/1715263</a>
  It works fine with a textfile.</p>
  
  <p>With the same code I'm trying to create a folder, using this information from Google:
  <a href="https://developers.google.com/drive/folder" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/drive/folder</a></p>
  
  <p>so Google says "Content-Type: application/json" goes into the header and  "application/vnd.google-apps.folder" should be the mimetype in the body(?), thats what I'm doing in my code, which looks like this now:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function createFolder() 
  {
      var access_token = googleAuth.getAccessToken();
  
      var json = JSON.stringify({
          mimeType: 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder',
          title: 'Folder',
      });
  
      var body =  "Content-Type: application/json" + "\r\n" +
                  "Content-Length: " + json.length + "\r\n" + "\r\n" +
                  json;
  
      gapi.client.request({
  
          'path': '/upload/drive/v2/files/',
          'method': 'POST',
          'params': {'uploadType': 'multipart'},
          'headers': {
              'Content-Type': 'application/json',
              'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token,             
          },
          'body': body
      }).execute(function(file) { 
          document.getElementById("info").innerHTML = "Created folder: " + file;
      }); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it's only creating a file named "Untitled", it's no folder and you can't open it.</p>
  
  <p>When I change the "Content-Type" in the "headers" section to "application/vnd.google-apps.folder" and remove the "body" part, it's creating a folder named "Untitled".</p>
  
  <p>How can I get it to create a folder with a specific title?</p>
