Upload using Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature (SAS) Authorization

Sample code to upload binary bytes to a block blob in Azure Cloud Storage using an Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature (SAS) Authorization. This creates a block blob, or replaces an existing block blob.

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..

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or later.

' The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application

' 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.

' IMPORTANT: Make sure to add the x-ms-date header.
' When the header name is "x-ms-date", Chilkat will recognize the keyword "NOW"
