' 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 = Await rest.ConnectAsync("chilkat.blob.core.windows.net",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)

' 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: 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("x-ms-range","bytes=6-")

' The Azure blob container is "test", the file is "helloWorld.txt"
Dim sb As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = Await rest.FullRequestNoBodySbAsync("GET","/test/helloWorld.txt",sb)
If (success = False) Then
    ' 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)
