# 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.

# 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"

# This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.

# 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.

# with an XML response body.
