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

rest = Chilkat::CkRest.new()

# Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
bTls = true
port = 443
bAutoReconnect = true
# In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
success = rest.Connect("chilkat.blob.core.windows.net",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)

# Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
azAuth = Chilkat::CkAuthAzureStorage.new()
azAuth.put_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.put_Account("chilkat")
azAuth.put_Scheme("SharedKey")
azAuth.put_Service("Blob")
# This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.

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 expected success response is a 201 response status code with no response body.
# In this example, the container to be created is named "mycontainer".

# with no response body.

# If the container with the same name already exists, then the operation will fail.
