File Upload: Can I get the URL of an uploaded blob?

[pihai]

The .NET SDK gives me the ability to get an absolute URL of the uploaded blob. See the example below:

var fileUploadSasUriRequest = new FileUploadSasUriRequest
{
    BlobName = fileName
};
// Lines removed for clarity
FileUploadSasUriResponse sasUri = await _deviceClient.GetFileUploadSasUriAsync(fileUploadSasUriRequest);
Uri uploadUri = sasUri.GetBlobUri();

Is there a possibility to get the absolute blob URL via the c SDK? I can't find a way to achieve this with the IoTHubDeviceClient_LL_UploadToBlob function. I would like to store the URL on the device or return it via a direct method to the caller.

What I'm also missing from IoTHubDeviceClient_LL_UploadToBlob is the ability to add properties/meta-data to the blob.

While the blob upload function is super easy to use it is also somewhat limited. Any recommendation on how I could achieve the requirements described above with the C SDK?

Thanks,
Philipp

Hi @pihai we don't currently have that functionality and it is unlikely that we would add it in the short term. Same with the properties. I will convert this to a discussion as a feature ask to keep in the mind in the future.

As a possible alternative, we do have a storage SDK for our embedded C SDK which would supply greater flexibility to get this to work (albeit you would then be mixing two different SDKs).
