#69 Problem with accesing azure account

[Deepak Bhatia]

Hi all

I am using org.soyatec.windowsazure libraries of java and everthing is working fine when I make a simlpe java application and use it but the same gives me error when using on Android simulator.

After researching a little bit on error I found that header formed was different in x-ms-date only.

In java application date header was like this

x-ms-date: Fri, 08 Oct 2010 13:34:14 GMT\r\n

while the same on Android platform was

x-ms-date: Fri, 08 Oct 2010 13:34:14 GMT+00:00\r\n

Thus it failed and said Date header in request is incorrect.

Remember: I am using same jar files of org.soyatec.windowsazure in both and there is no difference in code.

Code is also as:

import java.net.URI;
import org.soyatec.windowsazure.internal.util.TimeSpan;
import org.soyatec.windowsazure.authenticate.HttpRequestAccessor;
import org.soyatec.windowsazure.authenticate.StorageAccountInfo;
import org.soyatec.windowsazure.blob.BlobStorageClient;
import org.soyatec.windowsazure.blob.IBlobContainer;
import org.soyatec.windowsazure.blob.internal.RetryPolicies;
import org.soyatec.windowsazure.error.StorageException;

public class AzureTest {

public static void main(String[] args)
{

String BLOB_HOST_NAME = "http://blob.core.windows.net/";
String names = new String();
String user = "xxxxx";
String pass = "xxxxzzzzzzzzz";

BlobStorageClient objBlobStorageClient = BlobStorageClient
.create(URI.create(BLOB_HOST_NAME), false, user, pass);
try {
IBlobContainer objBlobContainer = objBlobStorageClient.createContainer("androidtest");

} catch (StorageException e) {
names = e.toString();
}

}
}Thanks in advance....................
