Azure Storage Blob Service REST API: Sample code to mark a container for deletion. The container and any blobs contained within it are later deleted during garbage collection. Objective-C

//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

//  If this header is not specified when there is an active lease, Delete Container will return 409 (Conflict). 
//  If you specify the wrong lease ID, or a lease ID on a container that does not have an active lease,

//  will fail with a 400 status code..
