Azure Storage: Upload Binary Data to Block Blob using BinData

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Sample code to upload binary bytes (contained in a Chilkat BinData object) to a block blob in Azure Cloud Storage. This creates the 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..

# Azure Blob Service Example: Upload binary bytes to a block blob.
# This creates a new block blob or replaces an existing one in its entirety.
# See also: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd179451.aspx

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

rest = chilkat2.Rest()

# Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
bTls = True
port = 443
bAutoReconnect = True
# In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
success = rest.Connect("chilkat.blob.core.windows.net",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success != True):
    print(rest.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
azAuth = chilkat2.AuthAzureStorage()
azAuth.AccessKey = "AZURE_ACCESS_KEY"
# 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"
azAuth.Service = "Blob"
# This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.XMsVersion = "2021-08-06"
success = rest.SetAuthAzureStorage(azAuth)

# 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 set the x-ms-blob-type header:
success = rest.AddHeader("x-ms-blob-type","BlockBlob")

# For this example, we'll just load a JPG file into memory..
bd = chilkat2.BinData()
success = bd.LoadFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg")
if (success == False):
    print("Failed to load the file to be uploaded.")

# For larger files, the upload must be broken up into blocks.  There is another Chilkat example for that..

# with no response body.

    # Examine the request/response to see what happened.
