The following code throws an error on the "CreateIfNotExist" method call. I am attempting to connect to my Azure Blob storage and create a new container called "images"

var storageAccount = new CloudStorageAccount(
    new StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey("my_account_name", "... my shared key ..."),
    "https://blob.core.windows.net/",
    "https://queue.core.windows.net/",
    "https://table.core.windows.net/"
);
var blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
var blobContainer = blobClient.GetContainerReference("images");
blobContainer.CreateIfNotExist();

The error is:

[StorageClientException: The requested URI does not represent any resource on the server.]

The "images" container does not exist but I was expecting it to be created instead of an error to be thrown. What am I doing wrong?

I have tried HTTP instead of HTTPS but the result is the same error.
