SendCustomRequest Method

Sends a custom request to the Azure Blob Storage service.

Syntax

async azureblob.sendCustomRequest(httpMethod : string, blob : string, requestBody : string): Promise<void>

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 class 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 ParsedHeader* properties; and the response body in 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.
