// See also: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn535599.aspx

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

CkoRest *rest = [[CkoRest alloc] init];

// Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
BOOL bTls = YES;
int port = 443;
BOOL bAutoReconnect = YES;
// In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
BOOL success = [rest Connect: @"chilkat.blob.core.windows.net" port: [NSNumber numberWithInt: port] tls: bTls autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect];

    NSLog(@"%@",rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
CkoAuthAzureStorage *azAuth = [[CkoAuthAzureStorage alloc] init];
azAuth.AccessKey = @"AZURE_ACCESS_KEY";
// 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";
azAuth.Service = @"Blob";
// This causes the "x-ms-version: 2020-08-04" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.XMsVersion = @"2020-08-04";
success = [rest SetAuthAzureStorage: azAuth];

// Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
// headers: x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
// are automatically set by Chilkat.

// The preflight blob request requires the following two HTTP headers.
// The Origin is the domain from which the actual request will be issued.
success = [rest AddHeader: @"Origin" value: @"www.contoso.com"];
// The Access-Control-Request-Method is the HTTP method (such as GET, POST, PUT, etc.) of the actual request.
success = [rest AddHeader: @"Access-Control-Request-Method" value: @"PUT"];

// The expected response is a 202 response status code with no response body.
// The name of the container or blob resource in this example is "test". (Replace "test" with your container name.)
NSString *responseStr = [rest FullRequestNoBody: @"OPTIONS" uriPath: @"/test"];
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// When successful, the Azure Storage service will respond with a 200 response code,
// with no response body.

// If CORS is not enabled or no matching rule is found for the request, 
// then a 403 status code is returned, with the following status text:
// "CORS not enabled or no matching rule found for this request."
