Upload using Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature (SAS) Authorization

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Sample code to upload binary bytes to a block blob in Azure Cloud Storage using an Azure Storage Account Shared Access Signature (SAS) Authorization. This creates a block blob, or replaces an existing block blob.

Note: The maximum size of a block blob created by uploading in a single step is 64MB. For larger files, the upload must be broken up into blocks. There is another Chilkat example for that..

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or later.

// Azure Blob Service Example: Upload binary bytes to a block blob.
// This uses a Shared Access Signature (SAS) for Authorization.
// This creates a new block blob or replaces an existing one in its entirety.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

// The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application
// because the connection does not need to be made for every request.  Once the connection is made
// the app may send many requests..
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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