(Lianja) Upload using Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature (SAS) Authorization

Sample code to upload binary bytes to a block blob in Azure Cloud Storage using an Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature (SAS) Authorization. This creates a block blob, or replaces an existing block blob.

Note: The maximum size of a block blob created by uploading in a single step is 64MB. For larger files, the upload must be broken up into blocks. There is another Chilkat example for that..

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or later.

// Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

// Azure Blob Service Example: Upload binary bytes to a block blob.
// This uses a Shared Access Signature (SAS) for Authorization.
// This creates a new block blob or replaces an existing one in its entirety.
// See also: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd179451.aspx

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

// Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
llBTls = .T.
lnPort = 443

// In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".

// The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application
// because the connection does not need to be made for every request.  Once the connection is made
// the app may send many requests..
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// 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.

// Let's load a previously computed Azure Storage Account SAS token and use it.
// See How to Create an Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature
loSbToken = createobject("CkStringBuilder")
llSuccess = loSbToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/azureStorageAccountSas.txt","utf-8")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? "Failed to load SAS token."
    release loRest
    release loSbToken
    return
endif

// Add the Shared Access Signature query params for authorization.
loRest.AddQueryParams(loSbToken.GetAsString())

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

// IMPORTANT: Make sure to add the x-ms-date header.
// When the header name is "x-ms-date", Chilkat will recognize the keyword "NOW" 
// and will substitute the current system date/time formatted as required by Microsoft.
llSuccess = loRest.AddHeader("x-ms-date","NOW")

// For this example, we'll just load a JPG file into memory..
loBinData = createobject("CkBinData")
