We have an Apache server running as a proxy for Azure blob storage.
However, there are some occasions where we get the following error:
HTTP/1.1 404 The specified account does not exist.
This happens occasionally/randomly and only when we fetch the blobs through the Apache proxy. If we fetch the blobs directly from the azure blob url, it works just fine.
We're trying to figure out why this happens - in order to do that, we're trying to figure out what triggers the above error.
This is the command we're using to reproduce it:
curl -IXGET https://<account-storage>.blob.core.windows.net/<container>/<blob-path>
What's the criteria for getting the error The specified account does not exist? What do we need to do to the above command?
A few things we've tried: **
-** We tried modifying the <account-storage> to anything and we get:
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: <modified-account-storage>.blob.core.windows.net
<container> and we get: HTTP/1.1 404 The specified resource does not exist.
<blob-path> and we get:HTTP/1.1 404 The specified blob does not exist.
None of these match the error we're trying to reproduce.
Globally unique resources that provide access to data management services and serve as the parent namespace for the services.
An Azure service that stores unstructured data in the cloud as blobs.

Hey! Old question but might help others.
I managed to reproduce this error by having my machine resolve the storage account's dns to another account's ip. This caused the requests to return The specified account does not exist.
Hope this helps someone in the future!
I understand that you are encountering a "404 The specified blob does not exist" error intermittently while retrieving blobs via the Apache proxy.
This issue may be due to Authentication or incorrect URL problems.
