# IMPORTANT: Make sure to change "myaccount" to your actual Azure Storage Account name.
# IMPORTANT: Also change "mytable" to the name of your Azure table.

$azAuth.Account = "myaccount"
$azAuth.Scheme = "SharedKey"
$azAuth.Service = "Table"

# This causes the "x-ms-version: 2019-07-07" header to be automatically added.
$azAuth.XMsVersion = "2019-07-07"
$success = $rest.SetAuthAzureStorage($azAuth)

# 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.

# Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
# The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
# reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
# made via the Connect method.

# Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
# Generate Code to Create JSON

# The following JSON is sent in the request body.
