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

    bTls := true
    port := 443

    // 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.

    // IMPORTANT: Make sure to set the x-ms-blob-type header:
    success = rest.AddHeader("x-ms-blob-type","BlockBlob")

    // To create an empty blob, upload a zero-length string.
