// 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
port = 443
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean
bAutoReconnect = True
// In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
Dim success As Boolean
success = rest.Connect("chilkat.blob.core.windows.net",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// 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: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.XMsVersion = "2021-08-06"
success = rest.SetAuthAzureStorage(azAuth)

// Set some request headers.
success = rest.AddHeader("x-ms-blob-content-disposition","attachment; filename=""hamlet.xml""")
success = rest.AddHeader("x-ms-blob-type","BlockBlob")
success = rest.AddHeader("x-ms-meta-m1","v1")
success = rest.AddHeader("x-ms-meta-m2","v2")

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

Dim fileStream As New Chilkat.Stream
fileStream.SourceFile = "qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml"

// Upload to the Azure Cloud Storage service.
// The file is streamed, so the full file never has to completely reside in memory.
// The file is uploaded to the container named "test".
Dim responseStr As String
responseStr = rest.FullRequestStream("PUT","/test/hamlet.xml",fileStream)
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(rest.LastErrorText)

End If

// When successful, the Azure Storage service will respond with a 201 response code,
// with an empty body.  Therefore, in the success condition, the responseStr is empty.
