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

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

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.

    //  Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

    //  Azure Blob Service Example: Upload binary bytes to a block blob.
    //  This uses a Shared Access Signature (SAS) for Authorization.
    //  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.

    CkRest rest;

    //  Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
    bool bTls = true;
    int port = 443;
    bool 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) {
        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  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 Storage Account Shared Access Signature
    CkStringBuilder sbToken;
    success = sbToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/azureStorageAccountSas.txt","utf-8");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << "Failed to load SAS token." << "\r\n";
        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;
    success = binData.LoadFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << "Failed to load JPG file." << "\r\n";
        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..

    success = rest.FullRequestBd("PUT","/mycontainer/starfish.jpg",binData,sbResponse);
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        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.
        std::cout << "response status code = " << rest.get_ResponseStatusCode() << "\r\n";
        std::cout << "response status text = " << rest.responseStatusText() << "\r\n";
        std::cout << "response header: " << rest.responseHeader() << "\r\n";
        std::cout << "response body (if any): " << sbResponse.getAsString() << "\r\n";
        std::cout << "---" << "\r\n";
        std::cout << "LastRequestStartLine: " << rest.lastRequestStartLine() << "\r\n";
