How to set blob content type when uploading to Azure Blob storage using Azure.Storage.Blobs

I recently wanted to upload something to an Azure Storage Blob Container and specify the content type without having to make another request, sadly there’s currently no documentation that I could find on how to do this common operation. Here’s how to do it with the current version of Azure.Storage.Blobs (12.4.4)…

blobClient.Upload(stream, httpHeaders: new BlobHttpHeaders { ContentType = "text/html; charset=utf-8" }, conditions: null);

In this case I’m using the storage account to host some static HTML directly so I needed to set the content type to text/html; charset=utf-8 but this will also need adjusting with images or videos too.

Setting conditions to null will mean if the blob already exists it will get overwritten, other outcomes can be set by passing a new instance of BlobRequestConditions.
