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

loRest = CreateObject('Chilkat.Rest')

* Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
lnBTls = 1
lnPort = 443
lnBAutoReconnect = 1
* In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
lnSuccess = loRest.Connect("chilkat.blob.core.windows.net",lnPort,lnBTls,lnBAutoReconnect)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN

    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
loAzAuth = CreateObject('Chilkat.AuthAzureStorage')
loAzAuth.AccessKey = "AZURE_ACCESS_KEY"
* The account name used here should match the 1st part of the domain passed in the call to Connect (above).
loAzAuth.Account = "chilkat"
loAzAuth.Scheme = "SharedKey"
loAzAuth.Service = "Blob"
* This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.
loAzAuth.XMsVersion = "2021-08-06"
lnSuccess = loRest.SetAuthAzureStorage(loAzAuth)

* 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.

* Setup a file stream for the download
loFileStream = CreateObject('Chilkat.Stream')
loFileStream.SinkFile = "C:/temp/qa_output/starfish.jpg"

* Indicate that the call to FullRequestNoBody should send the response body
* to fileStream if the response status code is 200.
* If a non-success response status code is received, then nothing
* is streamed to the output file and the error response is returned by FullRequestNoBody.
lnExpectedStatus = 200
loRest.SetResponseBodyStream(lnExpectedStatus,1,loFileStream)

* The Azure blob container is "test", the file is "starfish.jpg"
lcResponseStr = loRest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/test/starfish.jpg")
IF (loRest.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN

    * Examine the request/response to see what happened.
