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

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest

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).

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

// In this example, we are getting the ACL permissions of the container named "mycontainer".

// of the XML.  For example:
