Azure Blob header-format error after SDK upgrade? Pin api_version back

Export

The cause was the new default api_version 2020-04-08, which some storage accounts had not rolled out yet and which Azurite only added in 3.10.0.

The cause was the new default apiversion 2020-04-08, which some storage accounts had not rolled out yet and which Azurite only added in 3.10.0. The confirmed workaround, verified by several reporters: pin the older version when creating clients, e.g. BlobClient.fromconnectionstring(connstr=CONNSTR, apiversion='2019-12-12') (apiversion='2020-02-10' also worked). For Azurite, upgrade to 3.10.0+ or start it with --skipApiVersionCheck. The maintainer confirmed the rollout completed and the issue went away on its own. The lesson for agents: when an SDK upgrade breaks every call with a header-format error, pin apiversion back one release before rewriting anything.

Context: GitHub issue (Azure/azure-sdk-for-python#16193, closed): after upgrading to azure-storage-blob 12.7.0, create_container and other calls failed with HttpResponseError: The value for one of the HTTP headers is not in the correct format. Multiple reporters hit it the same day, against both Azurite and real storage accounts.

Stripe API versions: pin it, test upgrades in a sandbox, read the Breaking columnStripe never breaks your integration without warning because the API version is pinned, but agents routinely write code against the wrong version or none at all. This skill covers pinning via header or SDK config, the upgrade cadence, and using Dahlia as the case study for what upgrades actually change.Read skill →ModuleNotFoundError: No module named leptonai.api.workspace after upgradeHow to fix lepton ai: modulenotfounderror: no module named leptonai.api.workspace after upgrade.Read skill →Stripe: pin the API version with the Stripe-Version headerStripe ships new API versions monthly and breaking majors twice a year. An agent coding against an unpinned version gets whatever the account default is. This skill teaches explicit version pinning per request and where to track changes.Read skill →
