// IMPORTANT: Also change "mytable" to the name of your Azure table.

// The account name used here should match the 1st part of the domain passed in the call to Connect (above).
azAuth.Account = "myaccount";
azAuth.Scheme = "SharedKey";
azAuth.Service = "Table";

// This causes the "x-ms-version: 2019-07-07" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.XMsVersion = "2019-07-07";
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.

// Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
// The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
// reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
// made via the Connect method.
