Upload File in Blocks (with Content-MD5 header) and Commit the Block List

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Demonstrates how to upload a file in blocks and then commit the block list. This example includes a Content-MD5 header for each block. Ruby

# Azure Blob Service Example: Upload a file in blocks, and then commit the block list.
# See also: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd135726.aspx

# 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.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.
azAuth.put_XMsVersion("2021-08-06")
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.

# As the blocks are uploaded, we'll keep an XML block list for the subsequent commit..

xml.put_Tag("BlockList")

# Any type of file can be uploaded in this way.  It can a text file, binary file, anything...
