Append Blob throws "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request."

[bmukes]

Which service(blob, file, queue, table) does this issue concern?

Append Blob using Storage Emulator 5.9.0.0

Which version of the SDK was used?

WindowsAzure.Stroage 9.3.3

Which platform are you using? (ex: .NET Core 2.1)

.Net framework 4.7.2 Console Application using HostBuilder

What problem was encountered?

` String customDateTime = String.Format("{0:MM_dd_yyyy_H_mm}", DateTime.Now);

_cloudAppendBlob = container.GetAppendBlobReference($"{customDateTime}{_blobTable.BlobFileName}");

//The resulting name of the blob would be 09_24_2019_12_28_ProcessedCase.csv

AsyncHelper.RunSync(() => _cloudAppendBlob.CreateOrReplaceAsync()); `

All code runs successfully when using Azure cloud storage container.

Regardless of the file name used the call to CreateOrReplaceAsync throws

Append blobs are not supported by the storage emulator. Please see the emulator docs for the full list of differences between the service and emulator.
