// Azure File Service Example: List all the file shares in a storage account.
// See also: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/list-shares

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

Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();

// Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
bool bTls = true;
int port = 443;

// In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".

// Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
Chilkat.AuthAzureStorage azAuth = new Chilkat.AuthAzureStorage();
azAuth.AccessKey = "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.XMsVersion = "2021-08-06";
success = rest.SetAuthAzureStorage(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 the GET request to list the shares.
string responseStr = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/?comp=list");

// When successful, the Azure Storage service will respond with a 200 response status code,
// with an XML response body.
