Incorrect/confusing error message on bad blob refrence

See original GitHub issue

We are using the WindowsAzure.Storage 7.1.3-preview in netstandard1.6 project and had some some issues when trying to upload a blob. In our case we had a bug that formatted the id for the blockblobreference badly. The id had this value xxxxxxx.[“FileNameExtension”,“.jpg”]

The error message we got back was

StorageException: Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.

I am not sure if this is a bug really, but i think in the case the BlockBlobReference is not formatted correctly, there should be a better error message?

The exception happend on UploadFromStreamAsync method

CloudBlockBlob blockBob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(id);  
await blockBob.UploadFromStreamAsync(data);
