We need to able to: 1. Create a table 2. Insert into a table 3. Query a table We need do this using all standard http without any .NET whatsoever. We will use Fiddler to get this done. We can also use the Azure Storage Explorer.
Now you need your storage access keys. 
Copy the storage access keys to the clipboard. 
Now are are ready to configure the Azure Storage Explorer. 
As expected, there are no tables and no data. That is the next step. 
Notice that a PartitionKey and RowKey are required columns.
You can download Fiddler here:
The Request Header is going to require you to generate a Shared Key Lite.
Now we need to copy the Response Body in addition to the previous fields. The XML below was generated by my tool. Notice the partitionkey and rowkey from the form above.
Notice that we have added the data. You can see the GSXR1000 data in Azure Storage Explorer.
