Is it possible to create a public queue in Windows Azure?


In Windows Azure it's possible to create public Blob Container. Such a container can be accessed by anonymous clients via the REST API.

Is it also possible to create a publicly accessible Queue?

The documentation for the Create Container operation explains how to specify the level of public access (with the x-ms-blob-public-access HTTP header) for a Blob Container. However, the documentation for the Create Queue operation doesn't list a similar option, leading me to believe that this isn't possible - but I'd really like to be corrected :)


Solution

  • I think the best option would be to setup a worker role and provide access to the queue publicly in that manner. Maybe with AppFabric Service Bus for extra connectivity/interactivity with external sources.

    ? Otherwise - not really clear what the scope might be. The queue itself appears to be locked away at this time. :(
