(PureBasic) Azure Storage: Upload Binary Data to Block Blob using BinData

Sample code to upload binary bytes (contained in a Chilkat BinData object) to a block blob in Azure Cloud Storage. This creates the block blob, or replaces an existing block blob.

Note: The maximum size of a block blob created by uploading in a single step is 64MB. For larger files, the upload must be broken up into blocks. There is another Chilkat example for that..
