Question

Can I download the cspkg from Azure that I uploaded (rather than reuploading new package)?

The scenario is -

I need to add files into existing website - let

Answer 1

Using the Windows Azure Service Management Library NuGet Package, the C# code to get the package becomes:

private static X509Certificate2 GetCertificate(string storeName, string thumbprint)
{
    var store = new X509Store(storeName);
    store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
    return store.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindByThumbprint, thumbprint, true)[0];
}

public static void ExportPackage(X509Certificate2 certificate, string subscriptionId, string serviceName, string deploymentName, string containerUri)
{
    var managementService = ServiceManagementHelper.CreateServiceManagementChannel("WindowsAzureEndPoint", certificate);

    try
    {
        managementService.GetPackage(
            subscriptionId,
            serviceName,
            deploymentName,
            containerUri,
            true /*overwriteExisting*/);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        System.Net.WebException exception = ex.InnerException as System.Net.WebException;
        if (exception != null)
        {
            string responseText;

            using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(exception.Response.GetResponseStream()))
            {
                responseText = reader.ReadToEnd();
                Console.WriteLine("ERROR:" + exception);
                Console.WriteLine(responseText);
            }
        }
    }
}

My problem, however, is that no matter what I pass in as the containerUri, I get back 400 Bad request - Parameter value 'something.blob.core.windows.net/somecontainer'; specified for parameter 'ContainerUriString' is invalid.

Update: my problem was due to the storage container belonging to a different subscription - that was obviously not working. I made sure the container belonged to the same subscription, and voila!

Update: This code assumes the following app.config:

or, alternatively, for LinqPad users, you can configure web service inline as follows:

        var b = new WebHttpBinding(WebHttpSecurityMode.Transport);
        b.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Certificate;
        var address = new EndpointAddress("https://management.core.windows.net");
        var managementService = ServiceManagementHelper.CreateServiceManagementChannel(b, address.Uri, certificate);

Typical use:

X509Certificate2 certificate = GetCertificate("My", "NNNNNNNNNNNNN");
ExportPackage(certificate,
            "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
            "yourservice",
            "00000000000000000000000000000000",
            "https://yourstorage.blob.core.windows.net/container");
