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

var rest = new CkRest();

// Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
var bTls = true;
var port = 443;
var bAutoReconnect = true;

// The account name used here should match the 1st part of the domain passed in the call to Connect (above).
azAuth.Account = "chilkat";
azAuth.Scheme = "SharedKey";

// This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.XMsVersion = "2021-08-06";
success = rest.SetAuthAzureStorage(azAuth);

// 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.

// with no response body.
