Storage Queue Node SDK. Unexpected sendMessage response.

Hi Folks,

Using the sdk (@azure/storage-queue) is straightforward and I'm able to create, read and delete messages in a storage queue via an Azure static web app API function written in javascript.

The response I'm getting when adding a message to a queue is very verbose, around 56k, and includes details like the account shared key and extensive account and queue metadata. It is not the response detailed in the put-message docs.

This may be expected behaviour, I'm fairly new to azure queues so although I can code for it there's gaps in my knowledge and I haven't been able to find anything that explains a response of this nature. Would there be an option I can set to request a minimal response? That's a lot of data I'll never use. I only need an indication of success/failure.

If it isn't expected, I can send the responses. I would post now but I'm a bit nervous of posting without going over them carefully and removing any security data..

Thanks for any guidance you can offer, much appreciated.

    So this is turning into a serious issue for me. Two weeks I've been looking for this info. It's a well established service, I'm surprised this is proving so difficult. This wasn't the first place I tried to find the information

    All I want to know is, is the response expected? It's not documented, as far as I can see, and exposes shared keys to services, which is a concern.

    If it is expected I can deal with it I just don't want to do extra work when there's no need as it means more services to manage. As nice as the Azure management tools are it's still a lot of extra work and expense.

    P.S. Serious not sarcastic question - would I get an answer to this if I bought a support package? What would paid support do differently here that makes it worth having?

    I'm still looking for a pointer to documentation that details the response I'm getting. The official put-message docs give no information regarding 56k of headers and metadata returned from a request, a far more concise response is given in docs & examples.

    Any pointer appreciated, a link to a document if available would be brilliant.

    Many thanks
