Connecting to Azure storage account thru proxy server

Question

My \'LocalClient\' app is in a corporate LAN behind an HTTP proxy server (ISA). The first Azure API call i make - CloudQueue.CreateIfNotExist() - causes an exceptio

Answer 1

To by pass the proxy then please use like below, it works as expected and same has been tested.

public class AzureUpload {

    // Define the connection-string with your values
    /*public static final String storageConnectionString =
        "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;" +
        "AccountName=your_storage_account;" +
        "AccountKey=your_storage_account_key";*/
    public static final String storageConnectionString =
            "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;" +
            "AccountName=test2rdrhgf62;" +
            "AccountKey=1gy3lpE7Du1j5ljKiupjhgjghjcbfgTGhbntjnRfr9Yi6GUQqVMQqGxd7/YThisv/OVVLfIOv9kQ==";

    // Define the path to a local file.
    static final String filePath = "D:\\Project\\Supporting Files\\Jar's\\Azure\\azure-storage-1.2.0.jar";
    static final String file_Path = "D:\\Project\\Healthcare\\Azcopy_To_Azure\\data";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try
        {
            // Retrieve storage account from connection-string.
            //String storageConnectionString = RoleEnvironment.getConfigurationSettings().get("StorageConnectionString");
            //Proxy httpProxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP,new InetSocketAddress("132.186.192.234",8080));
            System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "102.122.15.234");
            System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "80");
            System.setProperty("https.proxyUser", "ad001\\empid001");
            System.setProperty("https.proxyPassword", "pass!1");
            // Retrieve storage account from connection-string.
            CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.parse(storageConnectionString);

            // Create the blob client.
            CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.createCloudBlobClient();


            // Get a reference to a container.
            // The container name must be lower case
            CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.getContainerReference("rpmsdatafromhospital");

            // Create the container if it does not exist.
            container.createIfNotExists();

            // Create a permissions object.
            BlobContainerPermissions containerPermissions = new BlobContainerPermissions();

            // Include public access in the permissions object.
            containerPermissions.setPublicAccess(BlobContainerPublicAccessType.CONTAINER);

            // Set the permissions on the container.
            container.uploadPermissions(containerPermissions);

            // Create or overwrite the new file to blob with contents from a local file.
            /*CloudBlockBlob blob = container.getBlockBlobReference("azure-storage-1.2.0.jar");
            File source = new File(filePath);
            blob.upload(new FileInputStream(source), source.length());*/

            String envFilePath = System.getenv("AZURE_FILE_PATH");

            //upload list of files/directory to blob storage
            File folder = new File(envFilePath);
            File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles();

            for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++) {
              if (listOfFiles[i].isFile()) {
                System.out.println("File " + listOfFiles[i].getName());

                CloudBlockBlob blob = container.getBlockBlobReference(listOfFiles[i].getName());
                File source = new File(envFilePath+"\\"+listOfFiles[i].getName());
                blob.upload(new FileInputStream(source), source.length());
                System.out.println("File " + listOfFiles[i].getName()+ " upload successful");

              }
              //directory upload
              /*else if (listOfFiles[i].isDirectory()) {
                System.out.println("Directory " + listOfFiles[i].getName());

                CloudBlockBlob blob = container.getBlockBlobReference(listOfFiles[i].getName());
                File source = new File(file_Path+"\\"+listOfFiles[i].getName());
                blob.upload(new FileInputStream(source), source.length());
              }*/
            }

        }catch (Exception e)
        {
            // Output the stack trace.
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

.Net or C# then please add below code to "App.config"
