*  Azure Blob Service Example: List all of the containers in an account.

*  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
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    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)

*  URI parameters, such as "maxresults", are added by calling AddQueryParam
lnSuccess = loRest.AddQueryParam("maxresults","1000")

*  Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
*  headers: x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
*  are automatically set by Chilkat.

lcResponseStr = loRest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/?comp=list")
IF (loRest.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loAzAuth
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  When successful, the Azure Storage service will respond with a 200 response code,
*  with an XML body.  
IF (loRest.ResponseStatusCode <> 200) THEN
    *  Examine the request/response to see what happened.

*  Load the XML response for parsing.
*  A sample XML response containing 2 containers is shown below.
loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')

*  Iterate over the containers, listing some information about each.

    *  The date/time string can be loaded into a CkDateTime object for conversion to other date formats..
