SocketError - getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

Hi,

I am trying to use WAZ-Storage gem to upload blob files into Windows Azure Storage. Below is the code i am using (Rails)

my_options = {}

my_options[:account_name] = 'testaccount'
my_options[:access_key] = 'primary_access_key'
my_options[:use_devenv] = false
my_options[:base_url] = 'http://testaccount.blob.core.windows.net/'
WAZ::Storage::Base.establish_connection(my_options) 
WAZ::Blobs::Container.find("test-container")  <<i get the below error in this line>>

but when executing the above code, i get the error

SocketError - getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

Note

1) I have created a storage named 'testaccount' in windows azure account 2) I have created a container named 'test-container'

not sure what i am doing wrong.. it would be helpful if i have some sample to run and test..

hi @cometbalan,

If you aren't using the local storage simulator, try not setting the :base_url, do something like

WAZ::Storage::Base.establish_connection!({:access_key => 'key', :account_name => 'youraccount'})

I tried connecting the Azure storage with below, and tried to find a Container named 'facontainer' which i have created in my windows azure account. But it shows RestClient::Forbidden - 403 Forbidden

WAZ::Storage::Base.establish_connection({:account_name => account_name, :access_key => access_key})

WAZ::Blobs::Container.find("facontainer")

Also i am using correct account name and key i obtained by logging into Windows Azure Storage account.

NOTE: WAZ::Storage::Base.connected? returns true, but any operation like container find, list etc., returns forbidden.
