I upload attachments to an Azure Blob storage. I also create a SAS-Token when uploading; I retrieve the unique URL, send it to the browser where it is opened immediatly.
When I do this I often (but not always) retrieve a 404 that this resource does not exist. When refreshing the page just a few seconds later it is retrieved correctly.
So it seems that I am "too fast" after uploading the attachment. Is there a way to wait until Azure is ready to serve the attachment? I would have expected awaiting the call would be sufficient to achieve this.
public async void UploadFile(string filename, byte[] filecontent)
{
var containerClient = _blobServiceclient.GetBlobContainerClient("attachments");
var blobClient = containerClient.GetBlobClient(filename);
using (var stream = new MemoryStream(filecontent))
{
await blobClient.UploadAsync(stream, new BlobHttpHeaders { ContentType = GetContentTypeByFilename(filename) });
}
}
public async Task<string> GetLinkForFile(string filename)
{
var containerClient = _blobServiceclient.GetBlobContainerClient("attachments");
var sasBuilder = new BlobSasBuilder()
{
BlobContainerName = containerName,
BlobName = filename,
Resource = "b",
StartsOn = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(-1),
ExpiresOn = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(5),
};
// Specify read permissions
sasBuilder.SetPermissions(BlobSasPermissions.Read);
var credentials = new StorageSharedKeyCredential(_blobServiceclient.AccountName, _accountKey);
var sasToken = sasBuilder.ToSasQueryParameters(credentials);
// Construct the full URI, including the SAS token.
UriBuilder fullUri = new UriBuilder()
{
Scheme = "https",
Host = string.Format("{0}.blob.core.windows.net", _blobServiceclient.AccountName),
Path = string.Format("{0}/{1}", containerName, filename),
Query = sasToken.ToString()
};
return fullUri.ToString();
}
public async Task<Document> GetInvoice(byte[] invoiceContent, string invoiceFilename)
{
string filePath = await GetLinkForFile(invoiceFilename);
UploadFile(invoiceFilename, file);
return new Document()
{
Url = filePath
};
}
The method GetInvoice is called by REST and the response (containing the URL) returned to the browser where it is opened.
