Azure Storage: Upload Binary Data to Block Blob using BinData

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Sample code to upload binary bytes (contained in a Chilkat BinData object) to a block blob in Azure Cloud Storage. This creates the block blob, or replaces an existing block blob.

Note: The maximum size of a block blob created by uploading in a single step is 64MB. For larger files, the upload must be broken up into blocks. There is another Chilkat example for that..

Rust

// Azure Blob Service Example: Upload binary bytes to a block blob.
// This creates a new block blob or replaces an existing one in its entirety.
// See also: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd179451.aspx

// 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.

// IMPORTANT: Make sure to set the x-ms-blob-type header:
let _ = rest.add_header("x-ms-blob-type", "BlockBlob").is_ok();

// For this example, we'll just load a JPG file into memory..
let bd = chilkat::BinData::new();
if bd.load_file("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg").is_err() {
    println!("Failed to load the file to be uploaded.");
    return;
}

// Note: The maximum size of a block blob created by uploading in a single step is 64MB.  
// For larger files, the upload must be broken up into blocks.  There is another Chilkat example for that..
let sb_response_body = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
if rest.full_request_bd("PUT", "/mycontainer/starfish.jpg", &bd, &sb_response_body).is_err() {
    println!("{}", rest.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// When successful, the Azure Storage service will respond with a 201 response status code,
// with no response body.

if rest.response_status_code() != 201 {
    // Examine the request/response to see what happened.
    println!("response status code = {}", rest.response_status_code());
    println!("response status text = {}", rest.response_status_text());
    println!("response header: {}", rest.response_header());
    println!("response body (if any): {}", sb_response_body.get_as_string().unwrap_or_default());
    println!("---");
    println!("LastRequestStartLine: {}", rest.last_request_start_line());
    println!("LastRequestHeader: {}", rest.last_request_header());
    return;
}

println!("Success.");
