Upload using Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature (SAS) Authorization

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Sample code to upload binary bytes to a block blob in Azure Cloud Storage using an Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature (SAS) Authorization. This creates a 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..

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

    // This uses a Shared Access Signature (SAS) for Authorization.
    // This creates a new block blob or replaces an existing one in its entirety.

    // The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application
    // because the connection does not need to be made for every request.  Once the connection is made
    // the app may send many requests..
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    // 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.

    // Let's load a previously computed Azure Storage Account SAS token and use it.
    // See How to Create an Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature
    CkStringBuilderW sbToken;
    success = sbToken.LoadFile(L"qa_data/tokens/azureStorageAccountSas.txt",L"utf-8");
    if (success != true) {
        wprintf(L"Failed to load SAS token.\n");
        return;
    }

    // Add the Shared Access Signature query params for authorization.
    rest.AddQueryParams(sbToken.getAsString());

    // IMPORTANT: Make sure to set the x-ms-blob-type header:
    success = rest.AddHeader(L"x-ms-blob-type",L"BlockBlob");

    // IMPORTANT: Make sure to add the x-ms-date header.
    // When the header name is "x-ms-date", Chilkat will recognize the keyword "NOW" 
    // and will substitute the current system date/time formatted as required by Microsoft.
    success = rest.AddHeader(L"x-ms-date",L"NOW");

    // For this example, we'll just load a JPG file into memory..
    CkBinDataW binData;
    success = binData.LoadFile(L"qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg");
    if (success != true) {
        wprintf(L"Failed to load JPG file.\n");
        return;

        return;
    }

    // When successful, the Azure Storage service will respond with a 201 response status code,
    // with no response body.
    if (rest.get_ResponseStatusCode() != 201) {
        // Examine the request/response to see what happened.
        wprintf(L"response status code = %d\n",rest.get_ResponseStatusCode());
        wprintf(L"response status text = %s\n",rest.responseStatusText());
