Failed to create a table in Azure Stack environment because of "azure.common.AzureHttpError: JSON format is not supported"

Hi,

I tried to create a container and table in Azure Stack environment. And creating the container succeeded, but creating the table failed.

This is the script:

from azure.storage.blob import BlobService
from azure.storage.table import TableService

storage_account_name = "xxx"
storage_access_key = "xxx"
service_host_base = "azurestack.local"
blob_service = BlobService(
    account_name=storage_account_name,
    account_key=storage_access_key,
    host_base='.blob.{0}'.format(service_host_base)
)
blob_service.create_container('foo1')

table_service = TableService(
    account_name=storage_account_name,
    account_key=storage_access_key,
    host_base='.table.{0}'.format(service_host_base)
)
table_service.create_table('bar1')

This is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This is an odd error. What version of the storage library are you using?

If possible, could you provide a network trace showing the HTTP request which was sent? On Windows Fiddler is a good tool for this, but there's lots available.

It appears that this is an Azure Stack issue this is being looked at internally. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Closing as this is being taken up with Azure Stack team and this is not a storage library issue.
