Use an Azure Service SAS

Shows how to use an Azure Service SAS. (In this case, it is an SAS for a blob.) Delphi DLL

// This uses a Service SAS for Authorization.

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

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application
// because the connection does not need to be made for every request.  Once the connection is made
// the app may send many requests..
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
// headers: Content-Length, x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
// are automatically set by Chilkat.

// Let's load a previously computed Azure Storage Account SAS token and use it.
// See How to Create an Azure Service SAS
sbToken := CkStringBuilder_Create();

    Exit;
  end;

// Add the Shared Access Signature query params for authorization.
CkRest_AddQueryParams(rest,CkStringBuilder__getAsString(sbToken));

// IMPORTANT: Make sure to set the x-ms-blob-type header:
success := CkRest_AddHeader(rest,'x-ms-blob-type','BlockBlob');

// IMPORTANT: Make sure to add the x-ms-date header.
// When the header name is "x-ms-date", Chilkat will recognize the keyword "NOW" 
// and will substitute the current system date/time formatted as required by Microsoft.
success := CkRest_AddHeader(rest,'x-ms-date','NOW');

// For this example, we'll just load a JPG file into memory..

// For larger files, the upload must be broken up into blocks.  There is another Chilkat example for that..
