// In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
// ---- IMPORTANT ----
// The "-secondary" suffix is required.
// This requires an Azure storage account with replication set to "Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS)"
// If you made the change just prior to testing this example, you'll need to give it time for the 
// DNS to become available..  
// ---- IMPORTANT ----
