// Azure Blob Service Example: CORS Preflight Blob Request
// 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.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Rest')
$rest = new COM("Chilkat.Rest");

// Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
$bTls = 1;
$port = 443;
$bAutoReconnect = 1;
// In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
$success = $rest->Connect('chilkat.blob.core.windows.net',$port,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.AuthAzureStorage')
$azAuth = new COM("Chilkat.AuthAzureStorage");
$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: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.
$azAuth->XMsVersion = '2021-08-06';
$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','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','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.)
$responseStr = $rest->fullRequestNoBody('OPTIONS','/test');
if ($rest->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// 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."
if ($rest->ResponseStatusCode != 200) {
    // Examine the request/response to see what happened.
    print 'response status code = ' . $rest->ResponseStatusCode . "\n";
    print 'response status text = ' . $rest->ResponseStatusText . "\n";
    print 'response header: ' . $rest->ResponseHeader . "\n";
    print 'response body (if any): ' . $responseStr . "\n";
    print '---' . "\n";
    print 'LastRequestStartLine: ' . $rest->LastRequestStartLine . "\n";
    print 'LastRequestHeader: ' . $rest->LastRequestHeader . "\n";
    exit;
