Hi

We are using PowerBuilder 2019 R3.

I need to upload files to Azure BLOB store. I have tried using HTTPClient and RESTClient (Post, SendRequest, etc) to upload files. It is not working. FYI I am using SAS Tokens. There is no documentation I could find.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

use http client:

Blob Storage REST API - Azure Storage | Microsoft Learn

 

to put a blob:

Put Blob (REST API) - Azure Storage | Microsoft Learn

Mike, U R A STAR

Following code is working for me. How can I get the SAS token dynamically? Any suggestions?

 

httpclient	lnv_HttpClient
restclient lnv_restclient
integer	li_rc, li_fp
blob lblob_content, lblob_resp
string ls_sastoken
string ls_url

li_fp = FileOpen("C:\myfile.pdf", StreamMode!)

FileReadEx(li_fp, lblob_content)

fileclose( li_fp)

lnv_HttpClient = Create HttpClient
lnv_restclient = create restclient
ls_url = "https://mydomain.blob.core.windows.net/images/1.pdf?"
ls_sastoken = "SAS-TOKEN"

string ls_GMTformattedDate = "2023-02-02 05:36:33" // this.of_getutcformateddate( ) //get this from database or from win32 api call
string ls_contenttype = 'application/octet-stream'

lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Accept", "*/*")
lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate, br")
lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Content-Length", string( len( lblob_content)))
lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf")
lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("x-ms-blob-type", "BlockBlob")
lnv_HttpClient.setrequestheader("x-ms-date", ls_GMTformattedDate)

// Not to read data automatically after sending request (default is true)
lnv_HttpClient.AutoReadData = false

// Send request using GET method
li_rc = lnv_HttpClient.SendRequest("PUT", ls_url + ls_sastoken, lblob_content)

lnv_httpclient.getresponsebody( lblob_resp)

// Receive large data
messagebox("Open from Azure failed!", lnv_httpclient.GetResponseStatusText())

IMO, no good way to do it in PB since you need your keys. Best if hosted as an api in azure. I use an azure function to generate it.

Good day Mike.

For now I am hardcoding the SAS token.

See below code snippet.

lnv_HttpClient = Create HttpClient
lnv_restclient = create restclient
ls_url = "https://abcdefgh.blob.core.windows.net/images/1.pdf?"
ls_sastoken = "<SAS TOKEN>"

li_fp = FileOpen("C:\Users\ramasar\Documents\_reports\104378.pdf", StreamMode!)

FileReadEx(li_fp, lblob_content)

fileclose( li_fp)

lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Accept", "*/*")
lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate, br")
lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Content-Length", "~"" + string(len(lblob_content)) + "~"")
lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf")
lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("x-ms-blob-type", "BlockBlob")

// Send request using GET method

/* tried this. this is not working
li_rc = lnv_HttpClient.SendRequest("PUT", ls_url + ls_sastoken, blob("Hello world!!!"))
*/

/* trying to upload using postdata. this is also not working
li_rc = lnv_httpclient.postdatastart(ls_url + ls_sastoken)

li_Rc = lnv_httpclient.postdata( lblob_content, len(lblob_content))

li_rc = lnv_httpclient.postdataend()
*/

you are missing several parts in the required headers.

The container MUST exist, so make sure it is created. your url looks fine.

always check your error messages from the service.





ls_GMTformattedDate = this.of_getutcformateddate( ) //get this from database or from win32 api call



ls_contenttype = 'application/octet-stream'



ls_len = string( LEN( BLOBFILE ) )



ls_URL = "https://"; + <youraccount> + ".blob.core.windows.net/" + <CONTAINER> + "/" + <yourfilename>

ls_URL += '?' + ls_YOURSAS





ll_rval = inv_http.SetRequestHeader("x-ms-blob-type", 'BlockBlob' ) //:<BlockBlob &#124; PageBlob &#124; AppendBlob>

ll_rval = inv_http.SetRequestHeader("x-ms-date", ls_GMTformattedDate) //DATE

ll_rval = inv_http.SetRequestHeader("x-ms-version", is_x_ms_version )

ll_rval = inv_http.SetRequestHeader("Content-Length", ls_len ) //string( lul_len ) )

ll_rval = inv_http.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", ls_contenttype )



ll_rval = inv_http.sendrequest("PUT", ls_URL, BLOBFILE)



inv_http.GetResponseBody(is_response, Encodingutf8!)



if inv_http.getresponsestatuscode( ) = 201 then

//good!

else

ls_error = string( inv_http.getresponsestatuscode( ) ) + ' ' + inv_http.getresponsestatustext( )

end if

Mike, thank you so much.

Are there any sample PB code (or any recommendation)?

Thanks in advance.

are you having a problem with any particular rest call?

The hardest part is getting the SAS token - then you simply construct the rest call to get and put blobs.
