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

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Rest')
loRest = CreateObject('Chilkat.Rest')

* Implements the following CURL command:

* curl -X POST \
*   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
*   -H "Accept: application/json;odata=fullmetadata" \
*   -H "Prefer: return-content" \
*   -d '{   
*     "TableName":"mytable"  
* }' https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/Tables

* Use the following online tool to generate REST code from a CURL command
* Convert a cURL Command to REST Source Code

* IMPORTANT: Make sure to change "myaccount" to your actual Azure Storage Account name.
* URL: https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/Tables

    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.AuthAzureStorage')
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 = "myaccount"
loAzAuth.Scheme = "SharedKey"
loAzAuth.Service = "Table"

* This causes the "x-ms-version: 2019-07-07" header to be automatically added.
loAzAuth.XMsVersion = "2019-07-07"
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.

* Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
* The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
* reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
* made via the Connect method.

* Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
* Generate Code to Create JSON

* The following JSON is sent in the request body.

* {
*   "TableName": "mytable"
* }

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("TableName","mytable")

loRest.AddHeader("Accept","application/json;odata=fullmetadata")
