# Azure File Service Example: Create a Directory
# See:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/create-directory

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

# 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")

# Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
# headers: x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
# are automatically set by Chilkat.
