    //  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" +

    //  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"
