Azure File Service: Create a Directory

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Sample code to create a directory and then a sub-directory in a share in the Azure File Service. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- Azure File Service Example: Create a Directory
-- See:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/create-directory

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

local rest = chilkat.Rest.new()

-- Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
local bTls = true
local port = 443
local bAutoReconnect = true
-- In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
local success = rest:connect("chilkat.file.core.windows.net", port, bTls, bAutoReconnect)
if not success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST calls.
local azAuth = chilkat.AuthAzureStorage.new()
azAuth.access_key = "AZURE_ACCESS_KEY"
-- The account name used here should match the 1st part of the domain passed in the call to Connect (above).
azAuth.account = "chilkat"
azAuth.scheme = "SharedKey"
azAuth.service = "File"
-- This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.xms_version = "2021-08-06"
success = rest:set_auth_azure_storage(azAuth)

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

-- Send a PUT request to create a directory named "wildlife" in the "pip" share.

-- with no XML response body.  If an error response is returned, there will be an XML response body.
