title: Delivering and using an Azure REST-API SharedKey for Blob Upload
body: <p>We currently use the REST API (based on microsoft samples) to upload blobs blockwise from a .NET client profile machine. The REST API examples use the Azure storage account name and access key directly to construct the SharedKey entry in the request header. For production code, we'll need to calculate the SharedKey on our server, and deliver it for the client to use during the session. </p>
  
  <p>Examples of SharedKey creation for blobs provide me with a Url plus query string that contains the access parameters. </p>
  
  <p>My question: How do I get this Url/query string key format work in conjunction with the SharedKey header entry required by the Azure REST API?</p>
  
  <p>Any pointers or tips greatly appreciated!
