(AutoIt) Azure File Service: Upload Large File

Sample code to upload a large file to a directory in a share in the Azure File Service. A file is uploaded by first creating the file in the Azure share and then writing ranges of bytes to the file. Azure imposes a 4MB limit for each PUT to write a range. Files larger than 4MB need to be uploaded by making multiple "Put Range" calls. This example uploads a large file requiring multiple "Put Range" calls.

; See:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/create-share

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

; Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
Local $bTls = True
Local $iPort = 443

If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oRest.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; This example will upload a larger file.
Local $sLocalFilePath = "qa_data/zips/somethingBig.zip"
$oFac = ObjCreate("Chilkat.FileAccess")
; Note: The FileSize method returns a signed 32-bit integer.  If the file is potentially larger than 2GB, call FileSizeStr instead to return
; the size of the file as a string, then convert to an integer value.
Local $iSzLocalFile = $oFac.FileSize($sLocalFilePath)
If ($iSzLocalFile < 0) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oFac.LastErrorText & @CRLF)

; Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST calls.

; This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.
$oAzAuth.XMsVersion = "2021-08-06"
$bSuccess = $oRest.SetAuthAzureStorage($oAzAuth)

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

; However, a few additional headers are required for the "Create File" operation:
$oRest.AddHeader("x-ms-type","file")

; This required header specifies the final size of the file (or the maximum size it can be).
$oSbFileSize = ObjCreate("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
$oSbFileSize.AppendInt($iSzLocalFile)
$oRest.AddHeader("x-ms-content-length",$oSbFileSize.GetAsString())

; Send a PUT request to create the file (or replace the file if it already exists).
; This will initialize the file in the Azure file storage.  To upload content, we'll need
; to do the "Put Range" operation one or more times.

; The following will create the file "somethingBig.zip" in the share "pip"
Local $sResponseStr = $oRest.FullRequestNoBody("PUT","/pip/somethingBig.zip")

    ConsoleWrite($oRest.LastErrorText & @CRLF)

; with no XML response body.  If an error response is returned, there will be an XML response body.
