* Azure Blob Service Example: Lease Container
* See also: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj159103.aspx

* 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".

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.

* The lease ID needs to be a GUID.  (UUID and GUID are synonymous)
loCrypt = CreateObject('Chilkat.Crypt2')
lcGuid = loCrypt.GenerateUuid()
? "Lease ID: " + lcGuid
lnSuccess = loRest.AddHeader("x-ms-lease-id",lcGuid)

* The action can be "acquire", "renew", "change", "release", or "break".
* See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj159103.aspx
lnSuccess = loRest.AddHeader("x-ms-lease-action","acquire")

* The lease duration..
lnSuccess = loRest.AddHeader("x-ms-lease-duration","15")

* In this example, we are acquiring a lease for the container named "mycontainer".
lcResponseStr = loRest.FullRequestNoBody("PUT","/mycontainer?restype=container&comp=lease")

    RELEASE loCrypt
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* When successful, the Azure Storage service will respond with a 200, 201, or 202 response status code,
* with no response body.

* The status code depends on the operation:
*    Acquire: A successful operation returns status code 201 (Created).
*    Renew: A successful operation returns status code 200 (OK).
*    Change: A successful operation returns status code 200 (OK).
*    Release: A successful operation returns status code 200 (OK).
*    Break: A successful operation returns status code 202 (Accepted).

IF ((loRest.ResponseStatusCode < 200) OR (loRest.ResponseStatusCode > 202)) THEN
    * Examine the request/response to see what happened.
