    // Specify the format of the string to sign.
    // Each comma character in the following string represents a LF ("\n") character.
    // The names specified in the StringToSign are replaced with the values specified
    // in the subsequent calls to SetTokenParam and SetNonTokenParam,.

    // Note: The trailing comma in the StringToSign is intentional and important. This indicates that the 
    // string to sign will end with a "\n".

    // Also note: The names in the StringToSign are case sensitive.  The names
    // specified in the 1st argument in the calls to SetNonTokenParam and SetTokenParam should
    // match a name listed in StringToSign. 

    // Version 2018-11-09 and later
    // 
    // Version 2018-11-09 adds support for the signed resource and signed blob snapshot time fields. 
    // These must be included in the string-to-sign. To construct the string-to-sign for Blob service resources, use the following format:
    // 
    // StringToSign = signedpermissions + "\n" +  
    //                signedstart + "\n" +  
    //                signedexpiry + "\n" +  
    //                canonicalizedresource + "\n" +  
    //                signedidentifier + "\n" +  
    //                signedIP + "\n" +  
    //                signedProtocol + "\n" +  
    //                signedversion + "\n" +  
    //                signedResource + "\n"
    //                signedSnapshotTime + "\n" +

    // The canonicalizedresouce portion of the string is a canonical path to the signed resource. It must include the service name (blob, table, queue or file) for version
    // 2020-08-04 or later, the storage account name, and the resource name, and must be URL-decoded. Names of blobs must include the blobs container. Table names must be
    // lower-case. The following examples show how to construct the canonicalizedresource portion of the string, depending on the type of resource.
    // For example:
    // URL = https://chilkat.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/starfish.jpg
    // canonicalizedresource = "/blob/chilkat/mycontainer/starfish.jpg"

    // Indicate that we are creating a service SAS that is limited to the blob resource.
    // (Specify b if the shared resource is a blob. This grants access to the content and metadata of the blob.
    //  Specify c if the shared resource is a container. This grants access to the content and metadata of any blob in the container, and to the list of blobs in the container. )
    authSas.SetTokenParam("signedResource","sr","b");

    // Note that we did not call SetTokenParam for "signedIP", "signedSnapshotTime", "rscc", and others.  For any omitted fields
    // the value will default to the empty string.
