Issue
I am trying to upload to google cloud storage with Curl and an API key, without success. The error message seems to indicate that I lack the Content-length header, which I don't. Any ideas?
$ curl -v -T ./myfile -X POST https://storage.googleapis.com/my-app/my-bucket/myfile?key=<my-api-token>
> Host: storage.googleapis.com
> User-Agent: curl/7.51.0
> Accept: */*
> Content-Length: 4
> Expect: 100-continue
>

Solution
API keys do not provide authentication. They associate a call with a project for purposes of quota and a few other things, but you cannot use them to access resources that require anything beyond anonymous access.
What you'll need is an "Access Key", which can be acquired in a variety of ways, usually via an OAuth exchange. If you have the gcloud command installed, the easiest way to grab a quick access key to use with cURL is to run gcloud auth print-access-token. The following should work:
$> curl -v --upload-file my-file.txt \
-H "Authorization: Bearer `gcloud auth print-access-token`" \
'https://storage.googleapis.com/my-bucket/my-file.txt'
