AZ-500 question #493 exhibit

Explanation

Enabling 'Secure transfer required' in the Azure Storage account Configuration settings forces all connections to use HTTPS, automatically rejecting any HTTP requests with a 400 error. This is the correct and built-in Azure mechanism to prevent unencrypted HTTP traffic to a storage account without needing firewalls or custom rules. The setting is found under Settings > Configuration in the storage account blade, and toggling it to 'Enabled' is all that is required to enforce HTTPS-only access.
