Option to generate non-signed public URLs for public containers

[CarlosMateoM]

Hi,

I'm using the azure-storage-php-adapter-laravel package to interact with Azure Blob Storage in my Laravel application. My container is set to public access, but when I retrieve a file URL using:

$url = Storage::disk('azure')->url('test.txt');

I receive a signed URL with an expiration date, like:

https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/test.txt?se=2025-02-25T15:02:19Z&sv=2024-08-04&sr=b&sig=...

Since my container is public, I don’t need signed URLs. It would be great to have a configuration option to disable signing and generate direct public URLs.

As discussed in Slack, I was asked to open this issue. Thank you for considering it!

TODOs

• add config option called private_urls_as_public_urls that controls this behaviour. Should default to true to not break anything
• if private_urls_as_public_urls is false, return the uri from the blob client
• add documentation in readme explaining this config

Maybe you can attempt a PR?

I’d love to contribute, but I don’t have time to work on this at the moment. When I have more availability, I might give it a try. Thanks for considering this feature!
