Azure Blob storage REST Api - How to write headers as string

Question

I am new to REST and I am trying to test a REST call to my Private azure blob storage. I downloaded a small REST call testing program that asks for a URL and Headers (both as string).

I need to list all the blobs in a container using the method described here: List Blobs (REST API)

I am basically wondering how to write the Headers (to include my Key to access the private container).

Thanks

Edit : The program I use to test REST calls is an Extension for Chrome named "Simple REST Client"

honestly you might have an easier time using one of the available libraries that wrap around the REST calls (Java, .NET, etc) — smcg
Hi, I cannot use the standard libraries as my application is in Silverlight. Those assemblies are not compatible... :( — danbord

I think you should input it this way into that chrome plugin: Authorization="SharedKey accountname:SharedKey" x-ms-date:2013-01-24T21:33:40 (Current Date)

At least according to this document: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dd179428.aspx
