Hi all, Given a stored file on Azure Storage (blobs, tables or queues -- doesn't matter), is it possible to allow access to it for all, but only based on permissions? For example, I have a big storage of images, and a DB containing users and authorizations. I want user X to only be able to access images Y and Z. So, the URL will be gen...
In the REST interface for Azure blobs, when you request a list of blobs there is a parameter for specifying that you want to list snapshots. Has this been exposed anywhere in the .Net client? ...
I want to use blob-leasing mechanism in my Windows Azure cloud app. I am using the StorageClient api released by Azure team for my blob transactions. However, the blob-leasing is not implemented in the StorageClient api and hence I need to implement it on my own. Has anyone done this before and has any pointers on how to do it? Thanks....
When I upload an image file to a blob, the image is uploaded apparently successfully (no errors). When I go to cloud storage studio, the file is there, but with a size of 0 (zero) bytes. The following is the code that I am using: // These two methods belong to the ContentService class used to upload // files in the storage. public void...
Hi, Wondering if you clever people can help me with a right doozy of a bug. I'm uploading blob blocks in parallel and this works perfectly fine when running against live storage however against dev storage I get the error "The specified blob already exists" for the occasional block. The weird/ironic thing is that if the blob does alrea...
Hi, I've been running a cloud drive snapshot in dev for a while now with no probs. I'm now trying to get this working in Azure. I can't for the life of me get it to work. This is my latest error: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.CloudDriveException: Unknown Error HRESULT=D000000D ---> Microsoft.Window.CloudDrive.Interop.InteropCloudDri...
Hi all, Sorry if I get any of the terminology wrong here, but hopefully you will get what I mean. I am using Windows Azure Cloud Storage to store a vast quantity of small files (images, 20Kb each). At the minute, these files are all stored in the root directory. I understand it's not a normal file system, so maybe root isn't the corr...
I need to have my search indexes based on a Azure/Lucene.NET implementation. That being said, I don't have much knowledge of Solr and Hadoop, or what they offer the Linux crowd. Since I don't know the learning curve ahead of me, I'll tell you what I'm looking for and perhaps you can tell me how I should spend my time. I'm interested i...
My application requires to unzip a zip file located in Azure's blob storage. Is unzipping supported in Azure blob storage? ...
I've been experimenting with Windows Azure Blob storage using the samples using Silverlight. I was wondering if it's possible to write a file upload component in Flash instead of Silverlight, since the former is installed almost everywere. I've never programmed in Action Script but I have a solid background in C# so that must not be ha...
