Not able to set properties on CloudBlob

[mwan-movideo]

When uploading to block blob storage, I want to change the ContentType property for the blob. But the setProperties() method is protected. Should it be public? Or there is another way to make the change?

The entire BlobProperties object is not settable since it contains some members that are not publicly mutable, however it does expose other members that are. Therefore the correct usage is retrieve the BlobProperties via getProperties, mutate the desired field and then call uploadProperties().

To update it use the following.

blobRef.getProperties().setContentType("value");
blobRef.uploadProperties();
