// 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
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];

// The account name used here should match the 1st part of the domain passed in the call to Connect (above).

// This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.

// Set some request headers.
success = [rest AddHeader: @"x-ms-blob-content-disposition" value: @"attachment; filename=\"hamlet.xml\""];

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

// 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.
