Shows how to generate a Shared Access Signature (SAS) for an Azure Storage Account.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

load ./chilkat.dll

# Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

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

# The names specified in the StringToSign are replaced with the values specified
# in the subsequent calls to SetTokenParam and SetNonTokenParam,.

# Note: The trailing comma in the StringToSign is intentional and important. This indicates that the 
# string to sign will end with a "\n".

# Also note: The names in the StringToSign are case sensitive.  The names
# specified in the 1st argument in the calls to SetNonTokenParam and SetTokenParam should
# match a name listed in StringToSign.
