This sample demonstrates uploading a text file to Azure Blob service from Azure Sphere using libcurl to initiate Put Blob REST API with SAS authorization.

Configure Azure Blob and generate service SAS

1. To run this demo you need have a storage account and create a blob container
2. Download Azure Storage Explorer and login with your Azure AD
3. In Storage Explorer, navigate to your container icon and right click to Get Shared Access Signature, create a Ad-hoc Service SAS with at least Create and Write permission. Copy Query String

To build and run the sample

Prep your device

1. Ensure that your Azure Sphere device is connected to your PC, and your PC is connected to the internet.

2. Even if you've performed this set up previously, ensure that you have Azure Sphere SDK version 19.09 or above. In an Azure Sphere Developer Command Prompt, run azsphere show-version to check. Download and install the latest SDK as needed.

3. Open Azure Sphere Developer Command Prompt and issue the following command:

   azsphere dev prep-debug
   

Build and deploy the application

1. Start Visual Studio.

2. Select the file azure-sphere-libcurl-blob.sln and then click Open.

3. In main.c file, replace FileURI string with your stroage account name and SASToken string with your Query String created.

4. In app_manifest.json file, fill your own stroage account name in AllowedConnections capability.

5. Press F5 to build and debug the application

6. In Device Output window, you will observe below logs:
