NAME

Net::Azure::BlobService - Interface to Azure Blob Service

SYNOPSIS

  my $blobservice = Net::Azure::BlobService->new(
      primary_access_key => $primary_access_key );

  # Get Blob Service Properties
  my $uri = URI->new("https://$account.blob.core.windows.net/");
  $uri->query_form( [ restype => 'service', comp => 'properties' ] );
  my $request = GET $uri;

  my $response = $blobservice->make_http_request($request);

DESCRIPTION

This module provides access to the REST interface to Windows Azure Platform Blob Service for storing text and binary data:

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dd135733.aspx

You must sign up to a storage account and obtain a primary access key. Create an HTTP request as per the page above and this module can sign the request, make the request and return an HTTP::Response object.

See the examples/ directory for more examples on calling different Blob Service operations.

This module intentionally does not interpret the response, but typically it will have content type of 'application/xml' which you can parse with your favourite XML parser.

METHODS

make_http_request

Sign and make an HTTP request:

  my $response = $blobservice->make_http_request($request);

sign_http_request

Sign an HTTP request:

  my $signed_request = $blobservice->sign_http_request($request);
