Simplest c# sample to call azure storage api
2018-10-27
Finally called the azure storage api, stucked for one hour in library. There is a / in + “/{0}/\ncomp:list”, Account);
Remember two things:
1. If you are calling to azure management api, you need a cert. Read https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-services/cloud-services-certs-create and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-services/cloud-services-configure-ssl-certificate-portal
2. If you are calling azure storage api, you just need a key, no cert if needed.
