* Azure Blob Service Example: Delete a particular blob in a specified container.
* See also: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/delete-blob

* 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)

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

* A successful operation returns status code 202 (Accepted) with no response body.
* This example deletes the blob named "helloWorld.txt" located in "mycontainer"
lcResponseStr = loRest.FullRequestNoBody("DELETE","/mycontainer/helloWorld.txt")
IF (loRest.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loAzAuth
    CANCEL
ENDIF

IF (loRest.ResponseStatusCode <> 202) THEN
    * Examine the request/response to see what happened.
