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

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.

    // 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

    // Add the Shared Access Signature query params for authorization.

    // IMPORTANT: Make sure to set the x-ms-blob-type header:
    success = CkRestW_AddHeader(rest,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 = CkRestW_AddHeader(rest,L"x-ms-date",L"NOW");
