(Go) REST File Streaming Upload

Demonstrates how to stream the REST body from a file. This example demonstrates a REST upload to the Azure Cloud Storage service.

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

    bTls := true
    port := 443

    // 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()

    // 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: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.

    // headers: x-ms-date, Authorization, and Content-Length.  These headers
    // are automatically set by Chilkat.

    fileStream.SetSourceFile("qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml")

    // Upload to the Azure Cloud Storage service.
    // The file is streamed, so the full file never has to completely reside in memory.
    // The file is uploaded to the container named "test".

    // When successful, the Azure Storage service will respond with a 201 response code,
    // with an empty body.  Therefore, in the success condition, the responseStr is empty.
