Azure Storage: Download Blob to File

Sample code to download an Azure blob to a file.

Chilkat Rust Downloads

Rust

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

let rest = chilkat::Rest::new();

// Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
let b_tls = true;
let port = 443;
let b_auto_reconnect = true;
// In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
if rest.connect("chilkat.blob.core.windows.net", port, b_tls, b_auto_reconnect).is_err() {
    println!("{}", rest.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
let az_auth = chilkat::AuthAzureStorage::new();
az_auth.set_access_key("AZURE_ACCESS_KEY");
// The account name used here should match the 1st part of the domain passed in the call to Connect (above).
az_auth.set_account("chilkat");
az_auth.set_scheme("SharedKey");
az_auth.set_service("Blob");
// This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.
az_auth.set_x_ms_version("2021-08-06");
let _ = rest.set_auth_azure_storage(&az_auth).is_ok();

// 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.

// Setup a file stream for the download
let file_stream = chilkat::Stream::new();
file_stream.set_sink_file("C:/temp/qa_output/starfish.jpg");

// Indicate that the call to FullRequestNoBody should send the response body
// to fileStream if the response status code is 200.
// If a non-success response status code is received, then nothing
// is streamed to the output file and the error response is returned by FullRequestNoBody.
let expected_status = 200;
let _ = rest.set_response_body_stream(expected_status, true, &file_stream);

// The Azure blob container is "test", the file is "starfish.jpg"
let response_str = rest.full_request_no_body("GET", "/test/starfish.jpg").unwrap_or_default();

    // Examine the request/response to see what happened.
