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

rest = Chilkat::CkRest.new()

# IMPORTANT: Make sure to change "myaccount" to your actual Azure Storage Account name.
# IMPORTANT: Also change "mytable" to the name of your Azure table.
# We're going to POST to this URL:  https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/mytable
bTls = true
port = 443
bAutoReconnect = true
success = rest.Connect("myaccount.table.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("myaccount")
azAuth.put_Scheme("SharedKey")
azAuth.put_Service("Table")

# This causes the "x-ms-version: 2019-07-07" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.put_XMsVersion("2019-07-07")
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.

# Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
# The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
# reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
# made via the Connect method.

# Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
# Generate Code to Create JSON

# The following JSON is sent in the request body.

#    "PartitionKey":"mypartitionkey",  
#    "RowKey":"myrowkey",
