// Azure File Service Example: Downloads a large file to the local filesystem using a Chilkat stream.
// See:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/get-file

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

// are automatically set by Chilkat.

// When streaming a download to the local filesystem or directed elsewhere,
// the complete HTTP GET operation must be broken into parts.
// For example, an HTTP GET consists of sending the request, followed by reading the response header,
// and then finally the response body.  We'll want to read the response header, and then based
// on the information received (such as success or failure), either read the response body
// as an error message, or as the file data.

// Send the HTTP GET request to download the file.
// The share is named "pip".
