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

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

// Add each name-value pair of metadata to associate with the container.
// To remove all metadata from the container, simply don't add any x-ms-meta- headers.
