(Android™) Use an Azure Service SAS

Shows how to use an Azure Service SAS. (In this case, it is an SAS for a blob.)

    // Azure Blob Service Example: Upload binary bytes to a block blob.
    // This uses a Service SAS for Authorization.

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

    CkRest rest = new CkRest();

    // Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
    boolean bTls = true;
    int port = 443;
    boolean bAutoReconnect = true;
    // In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
    boolean success = rest.Connect("chilkat.blob.core.windows.net",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, rest.lastErrorText());

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application
    // because the connection does not need to be made for every request.  Once the connection is made
    // the app may send many requests..
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    // Let's load a previously computed Azure Storage Account SAS token and use it.
    // See How to Create an Azure Service SAS
    CkStringBuilder sbToken = new CkStringBuilder();
    success = sbToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/azureStorageServiceSas.txt","utf-8");
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, "Failed to load SAS token.");
        return;
        }

    // Add the Shared Access Signature query params for authorization.
    rest.AddQueryParams(sbToken.getAsString());

    // IMPORTANT: Make sure to set the x-ms-blob-type header:
    success = rest.AddHeader("x-ms-blob-type","BlockBlob");

    // IMPORTANT: Make sure to add the x-ms-date header.
    // When the header name is "x-ms-date", Chilkat will recognize the keyword "NOW" 
    // and will substitute the current system date/time formatted as required by Microsoft.
    success = rest.AddHeader("x-ms-date","NOW");

    // For this example, we'll just load a JPG file into memory..
    CkBinData binData = new CkBinData();
    success = binData.LoadFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg");
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, "Failed to load JPG file.");
        return;
        }

    // Note: The maximum size of a block blob created by uploading in a single step is 64MB.  
    // For larger files, the upload must be broken up into blocks.  There is another Chilkat example for that..
    CkStringBuilder sbResponse = new CkStringBuilder();
    success = rest.FullRequestBd("PUT","/mycontainer/starfish.jpg",binData,sbResponse);
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, rest.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // When successful, the Azure Storage service will respond with a 201 response status code,
    // with no response body.
    if (rest.get_ResponseStatusCode() != 201) {
        // Examine the request/response to see what happened.
        Log.i(TAG, "response status code = " + String.valueOf(rest.get_ResponseStatusCode()));
        Log.i(TAG, "response status text = " + rest.responseStatusText());
        Log.i(TAG, "response header: " + rest.responseHeader());
        Log.i(TAG, "response body (if any): " + sbResponse.getAsString());
        Log.i(TAG, "---");
        Log.i(TAG, "LastRequestStartLine: " + rest.lastRequestStartLine());
