General
Error Codes
All services share common request headers, such as x-ms-version and Authorization. Responses include Server, Date, and x-ms-request-id headers.
Typical error responses return a status code and an XML payload describing the error. Example:
<Error> <Code>AuthenticationFailed</Code> <Message>Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.</Message> </Error>
