title: Unable to create container with a forward slash in Azure
body: <p>I'm unable to create a container in Azure that contains a forward slash (I've also tried backslash) using the below code. Creating a container with no slash works.</p>
  
  <p>The name of the container complies with azure rules. It's between the min and max length for container names, is lowercase and so on. I receive a generic response from Azure '400: bad request'</p>
  
  <pre><code>var exampleDirectory = "example/directory";
  var cloudStorage = new CloudStorageAndDBConnections();
  var blobClient = cloudStorage.blobClient;
  var exampleContainer = blobClient.GetContainerReference(exampleDirectory ).CreateIfNotExists();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>attempting this with "exampledirectory" instead of "example/directory" works.</p>
  
  <p>I've read documentation that state a forward slash is allowed, so I'm lost..</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
