title: Python requests.get() for Azure blob
body: <p>I am trying to download blobs from Azure storage, and it would be preferred to me to use Python's <code>requests.get()</code>. If I try it with <code>get_blob_to_path()</code> from <code>azure</code>, it works, but not with <code>requests.get()</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I use it as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>requests.get('https://&lt;account_name&gt;.blob.core.windows.net/&lt;container_name&gt;/&lt;blob_name&gt;')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have also tried to just copy the whole URL from Azure Storage Explorer.</p>
  
  <p>I get the following error from one account:</p>
  
  <pre><code>gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the following result (not displayed as an error) from another account:     </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Response [404]&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What can cause this error / <code>&lt;Response [404]&gt;</code> and how to fix it? Is it some issues with permissions for connections through <code>requests.get()</code>?</p>
