// Azure File Service Example: List all the file shares in a storage account.
// See also: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/list-shares

// 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
bTls = True
Dim port As Int32

// 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"

// This causes the "x-ms-version: 2020-08-04" header to be automatically added.

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.

// Send the GET request to list the shares.

// with an XML response body.
