-      #     option, do not include the sequence_number option; doing so will return
-      #     status code 400 (Bad Request).
-      # * +:sequence_number+          - Integer. This property sets the blob's sequence number. The sequence number is a 
-      #   user-controlled property that you can use to track requests and manage concurrency 
-      #   issues. Required if the :sequence_number_action option is set to :max or :update.

-      # Remarks:
-      #
-      # The semantics for updating a blob's properties are as follows:
-      #
-      # * A page blob's sequence number is updated only if the request meets either of the following conditions:
-      # 
-      #     * The :sequence_number_action property is set to :max or :update, and a value for :sequence_number is also set.
-      #     * The :sequence_number_action property is set to :increment, indicating that the service should increment
-      #       the sequence number by one.
-      # 
-      # * The size of the page blob is modified only if a value for :content_length is specified.
-      #
-      # * If :sequence_number and/or :content_length are the only properties specified, then the other properties of the blob
-      #   will NOT be modified.
-      # 
-      # * If any one or more of the following properties are set, then all of these properties are set together. If a value is
-      #   not provided for a given property when at least one of the properties listed below is set, then that property will be
-      #   cleared for the blob.
-      #

+      #   value is less than the current size of the blob, then all pages above 
+      #   the specified value are cleared. This property cannot be used to change 
+      #   the size of a block blob. Setting this property for a block blob returns 
+      #   status code 400 (Bad Request).
+      # * +:sequence_number_action+   - Symbol. This property indicates how the service should modify the sequence 
+      #   number for the blob. Required if :sequence_number is used. This property 
+      #   applies to page blobs only.
+      #
+      #   Specify one of the following options for this property:
+      #
+      #   * +:max+        - Sets the sequence number to be the higher of the value included with 
+      #     the request and the value currently stored for the blob.
+      #   * +:update+     - Sets the sequence number to the value included with the request.
+      #   * +:increment+  - Increments the value of the sequence number by 1. If specifying this 
+      #     option, do not include the sequence_number option; doing so will return
+      #     status code 400 (Bad Request).
+      # * +:sequence_number+          - Integer. This property sets the blob's sequence number. The sequence number is a 
+      #   user-controlled property that you can use to track requests and manage concurrency 
+      #   issues. Required if the :sequence_number_action option is set to :max or :update. 
+      #   This property applies to page blobs only.
+      #
+      #   Use this together with the :sequence_number_action to update the blob's sequence 
+      #   number, either to the specified value or to the higher of the values specified with 
+      #   the request or currently stored with the blob.
+      #
+      #   This header should not be specified if :sequence_number_action is set to :increment; 
+      #   in this case the service automatically increments the sequence number by one.
+      #
+      #   To set the sequence number to a value of your choosing, this property must be specified
+      #   together with :sequence_number_action
+      # * +:timeout+                  - Integer. A timeout in seconds.
+      #
+      # Remarks:
+      #
+      # The semantics for updating a blob's properties are as follows:
+      #
+      # * A page blob's sequence number is updated only if the request meets either of the following conditions:
+      # 
+      #     * The :sequence_number_action property is set to :max or :update, and a value for :sequence_number is also set.
+      #     * The :sequence_number_action property is set to :increment, indicating that the service should increment
+      #       the sequence number by one.
+      # 
+      # * The size of the page blob is modified only if a value for :content_length is specified.
+      #
+      # * If :sequence_number and/or :content_length are the only properties specified, then the other properties of the blob
+      #   will NOT be modified.
+      # 
+      # * If any one or more of the following properties are set, then all of these properties are set together. If a value is
+      #   not provided for a given property when at least one of the properties listed below is set, then that property will be
+      #   cleared for the blob.
+      # 
+      #     * :cache_control
+      #     * :content_type
+      #     * :content_md5
+      #     * :content_encoding
+      #     * :content_language
