Windows Azure Media Services Upload File Problem

Question

Hi, when i use Rest API to upload file in Media Services, i met with some problems.

I can not get authorization correctly. I think there may be some problems with

construction of Canonicalized Resource String.

The storage SDK provides put_blob API which uses container and blob_name as

parameters. However, Upload File in Media Services requires Locator.

Futhurmore, i find this in azure documents:"If you are authenticating against the storage emulator, the account name will appear twice in the CanonicalizedResource string."

I am confused about this. What is storage emulator? how should account name will appear twice ?How can I get authorization correctly ?

Thank a lot. Hope for your early reply!

Answer 1

The program was written by Python in Linux. Thus I use Rest API.

The steps of create IngestManifest, assets, IngestManifestAssets and IngestManifestFiles

succeed. Http returns 400 error code(InvalidAuthenticationInfo</Code><Message>Authentication information is not given in the correct format) while Upload File using Upload Url.
