Issue in calling Blob API using Shared Key Authorization using Javascript

Question

https://github.com/Azure-Samples/storage-dotnet-rest-api-with-auth

The above sample is a CSharp sample to create Authorization Header to call the Azure Storage Blob API for getting the blobs.

The same is replicated using the Javascript.

Everything works but when I perform multiple get calls to retrieve multiple blobs inside a for loop. I get an error for few of the blobs due to which few calls fails. Plus this behaviour is not consistent. Sometimes I would get all the blobs without any error. Sometimes none. And sometimes few blobs are successfully fetched and few are not.

Error I get on calling GET Blob API : 

 

"403 (Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.)"

 

Is there any sample available for the same in Javascript ?

What could be the possible reasons for this failure. ?

@Satya Naik Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

These samples use the latest Azure Storage JavaScript v12 library. For legacy v11 code, see Getting Started with Azure Blob Service in Node.js in the GitHub repository. Azure Storage samples using v12 JavaScript client libraries
Requested you to verify and confirm if the blob has the right IAM roles with required permissions (Owner or Contributor).
