Standard HTTP Properties for Containers and Blobs

Containers and blobs also support certain standard HTTP properties. Properties and metadata are both represented as standard HTTP headers; the difference between them is in the naming of the headers. Metadata headers are named with the header prefix x-ms-meta- and a custom name. Property headers use standard HTTP header names, as specified in the Header Field Definitions of the HTTP/1.1 protocol specification.

The standard HTTP headers supported on containers include:

    * ETag
    * Last-Modified

The standard HTTP headers supported on blobs include:

    * ETag
    * Last-Modified
    * Content-Length
    * Content-Type
    * Content-MD5
    * Content-Encoding
    * Content-Language
