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

# Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service

# 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")

# This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.

# 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 200 response status code with no response body.
# In this example, we are getting the metadata of the container named "mycontainer".

# with no response body.

# The user-defined metadata is located in the response header.
# The full response header can be obtained like this:
print "response header: " + rest.responseHeader() + "\n";
print "--" + "\n";

# Metadata headers begin with "x-ms-meta-"
# Individual response header fields can be retrieved like this:
print "x-ms-meta-Category: " + rest.responseHdrByName("x-ms-meta-Category") + "\n";
print "x-ms-meta-Resolution: " + rest.responseHdrByName("x-ms-meta-Resolution") + "\n";
