' Azure Blob Service Example: Delete a particular blob in a specified container.

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

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest

' Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim port As Integer = 443
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean = True
' In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
Dim success As Boolean = rest.Connect("chilkat.blob.core.windows.net",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)

End If


' Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
Dim azAuth As New Chilkat.AuthAzureStorage
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: 2020-08-04" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.XMsVersion = "2020-08-04"
success = rest.SetAuthAzureStorage(azAuth)

' Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
' headers: x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
' are automatically set by Chilkat.


' A successful operation returns status code 202 (Accepted) with no response body.
' This example deletes the blob named "helloWorld.txt" located in "mycontainer"
Dim responseStr As String = rest.FullRequestNoBody("DELETE","/mycontainer/helloWorld.txt")

    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)

    ' Examine the request/response to see what happened.
    Debug.WriteLine("response status code = " & rest.ResponseStatusCode)
    Debug.WriteLine("response status text = " & rest.ResponseStatusText)
    Debug.WriteLine("response header: " & rest.ResponseHeader)
