Microsoft Azure SDK for Ruby ... Extensions!
This was written as a container to add functionality missing from the Azure SDK, specifically the Shared Access Signature which is needed for CORS requests from JavaScript, among other things
This bit of code was written with the help of these sources:
- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn140255.aspx
- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn140256.aspx
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'azure-contrib', git: 'https://github.com/dmichael/azure-contrib.git'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Usage
Shared Access Signatures
signer = Azure::Contrib::Auth::SharedAccessSignature.new(uri, {
resource: 'c',
permissions: 'w',
start: (Time.now - 5*60).utc.iso8601,
expiry: (Time.now + 30*60).utc.iso8601
})
signed_uri = signer.sign
Chunked Uploads
For files > 64MB you will need chunk your uploads. While the Azure Ruby SDK does provide the methods for doing this, the process of chunking is fiddly and requires a great deal of supporting code.
This gem overrides the create_block_blob
to add chunking support.
container = <your container name>
blob = <your blob name>
service = Azure::BlobService.new
service.create_block_blob(container, blob, 'path/to/file', chunking: true)
All options like :timeout
may still be passed as usual. Without the chunking: true
option, the original method is called untouched.
