(Go) Azure Storage: Delete Container

Azure Storage Blob Service REST API: Sample code to mark a container for deletion. The container and any blobs contained within it are later deleted during garbage collection.

    // Azure Blob Service Example: Delete Container
    // See also: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd179408.aspx

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

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()

    // Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
    bTls := true
    port := 443
    bAutoReconnect := true
    // In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
    success := rest.Connect("chilkat.blob.core.windows.net",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    // Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
    azAuth := chilkat.NewAuthAzureStorage()
    azAuth.SetAccessKey("AZURE_ACCESS_KEY")
    // The account name used here should match the 1st part of the domain passed in the call to Connect (above).
    azAuth.SetAccount("chilkat")
    azAuth.SetScheme("SharedKey")
    azAuth.SetService("Blob")
    // This causes the "x-ms-version: 2020-08-04" header to be automatically added.
    azAuth.SetXMsVersion("2020-08-04")
    success = rest.SetAuthAzureStorage(azAuth)

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

    // To call Delete Container on a container that has an active lease, specify the lease ID in this header. 
    // If this header is not specified when there is an active lease, Delete Container will return 409 (Conflict). 
    // If you specify the wrong lease ID, or a lease ID on a container that does not have an active lease, 
    // Delete Container will return 412 (Precondition failed).

    // IMPORTANT: Delete this line, or insert a valid lease ID, otherwise the request
    // will fail with a 400 status code..
    success = rest.AddHeader("x-ms-lease-id","SOME_LEASE_ID")

    // The expected success response is a 202 response status code with no response body.
    // In this example, the container to be deleted is named "mycontainer".
    responseStr := rest.FullRequestNoBody("DELETE","/mycontainer?restype=container")

        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())

        return
    }

    // When successful, the Azure Storage service will respond with a 202 response code,
    // with no response body.

    // If the container with the same name already exists, then the operation will fail.
    if rest.ResponseStatusCode() != 202 {
        // Examine the request/response to see what happened.
