Adding x-ms-range header to Azure Blob Download

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Demonstrates how to add an x-ms-range header to an Azure blob download. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let rest = CkoRest()!

    // Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
    var bTls: Bool = true
    var port: Int = 443
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = true
    // In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
    success = rest.connect(hostname: "chilkat.blob.core.windows.net", port: port, tls: bTls, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)
    if success != true {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
    let azAuth = CkoAuthAzureStorage()!
    azAuth.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.account = "chilkat"
    azAuth.scheme = "SharedKey"
    azAuth.service = "Blob"
    // This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.
    azAuth.xMsVersion = "2021-08-06"
    success = rest.setAuthAzureStorage(authProvider: 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.

    // Add the x-ms-range header.
    // See x-ms-range Header Format
    // The file we're downloading contains "Hello World!", so we'll download just the "World!" part..
    rest.addHeader(name: "x-ms-range", value: "bytes=6-")

    // The Azure blob container is "test", the file is "helloWorld.txt"
    let sb = CkoStringBuilder()!
    success = rest.fullRequestNoBodySb(httpVerb: "GET", uriPath: "/test/helloWorld.txt", sb: sb)
    if success == false {
        // Examine the request/response to see what happened.
        print("response status code = \(rest.responseStatusCode.intValue)")
        print("response status text = \(rest.responseStatusText!)")
        print("response header: \(rest.responseHeader!)")
        print("---")
        print("LastRequestStartLine: \(rest.lastRequestStartLine!)")
        print("LastRequestHeader: \(rest.lastRequestHeader!)")
        return
    }

    print("\(sb.getAsString()!)")

    print("Success.")
