SendCustomRequest Method

Sends a custom request to the Azure Blob Storage service.

Syntax

public void SendCustomRequest(string httpMethod, string blob, string requestBody);
Public Sub SendCustomRequest(ByVal HttpMethod As String, ByVal Blob As String, ByVal RequestBody As String)

Remarks

This method can be used to send arbitrary requests to the Azure Blob Storage service.

Valid values for HttpMethod are:

  • GET (default if empty)
  • HEAD
  • POST
  • PUT
  • DELETE

The Blob and RequestBody parameters may be empty if not needed.

Usage

When this method is called, the component does the following:

  1. Builds a request URL, including query parameters, using the following:
  2. Adds request headers from:
  3. Authenticates the request using Authorization (if non-empty), or AccessKey (in which case the request is signed).
  4. Sends the request, including RequestBody if non-empty.
  5. Stores the response headers in the ParsedHeaders collection; and the response body in the stream specified using SetDownloadStream, the specified LocalFile, or BlobData (using the same logic as GetBlob).

If the response body is XML data, the XPath, XText, and other X* configuration settings can then be used to navigate and extract information from it.
