Invalid character exception when adding Metadata to a CloudBlob

Question

Task

Upload a file to Azure Blob Storage with the original filename and also assign the filename as meta-data to the CloudBlob

Answer 1

If the above list is exhaustive, it should be possible to encode the metadata to HTML and then decode it when you need it:

var htmlEncodedValue = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(value)
var originalValue = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(value)
