Upload Images in Azure blob storage
While I was working on a different project, i stumbled upon a very strange issue, the images from my blob storage container embedded in html didn’t display correctly:
The image was embedded in a simple img tag:
After a little investigation i found out that this would happen when the image was bigger than a certain size, but something other than the size changed that broke the image link, the content type. It changed from “image/jpeg” to “application/octet-stream”.
To solve this, i decided to write a cli utility that uploads a jpeg image to a blob storage container with the correct content-type.
The main part of the application is the upload class that sets the content-type of the blob as image/jpeg, here is how:
IMPORTANT: blobReference.Properties.ContentType = “image/jpeg” must be set before uploading the file.
