-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

-- In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
-- ---- IMPORTANT ----
-- The "-secondary" suffix is required.
-- This requires an Azure storage account with replication set to "Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS)"
-- If you made the change just prior to testing this example, you'll need to give it time for the
-- DNS to become available..
-- ---- IMPORTANT ----
