Azure Blob Storage for static website with javascript http 401

Question

Hi, I'm trying to upload a static website (sample javascript project from vite) to azure storage blob. It returns 401 when accessing the files.

I'm able to use the blob storage to serve other static websites like unity3d webgl fine. The vite sample, I tried uploading to netifly and it works there. Why does it not work on azure storage blob. There is no CORS needed to set on Netifly

@Robin Tan Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

The URL blob.core.windows.net is not the correct url to access azure storage static website. The correct URL will end with web.core.windows.net.

You can find more details about how to locate correct URL for your static website, by following this link - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-static-website-how-to?tabs=azure-portal#find-the-website-url

Find the website URL on Azure Portal:
In the pane that appears beside the account overview page of your storage account, select Static Website. The URL of your site appears in the Primary endpoint field.

I hope this helps.
