Upload File in Blocks (with Content-MD5 header) and Commit the Block List

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Demonstrates how to upload a file in blocks and then commit the block list. This example includes a Content-MD5 header for each block. Perl

# Azure Blob Service Example: Upload a file in blocks, and then commit the block list.

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