* Azure File Service Example: Create a Directory
* See:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/create-directory

* 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.file.core.windows.net",lnPort,lnBTls,lnBAutoReconnect)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST calls.
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 = "File"
* 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.

* Send a PUT request to create a directory named "wildlife" in the "pip" share.
lcResponseStr = loRest.FullRequestNoBody("PUT","/pip/wildlife?restype=directory")
IF (loRest.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loAzAuth
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* When successful, the Azure File Service will respond with a 201 (Created) response status code,
* with no XML response body.  If an error response is returned, there will be an XML response body.

IF (loRest.ResponseStatusCode <> 201) THEN
    * Examine the request/response to see what happened.
