Bug Description

I am trying to use Azure Storage Explorer to connect to Azurite via HTTPS. I have set up Azurite locally using a self-signed cert, and can upload/download files using the Python Azure SDK. For example, the following code works:

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.storage.blob import BlobClient

client = BlobClient(
    "https://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1",
    container_name="my-container",
    blob_name="text.txt",
    credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
)

client.upload_blob(
    "Test",
    overwrite=True,
    connection_verify="/path/to/rootCA.pem",
)

print(
    str(client.download_blob(connection_verify="/path/to/rootCA.pem").readall(), "utf-8")
)

I have imported the root certificate into Azure Storage Explorer, and can connect to the storage account and see the blobs in the container. I can even preview items in the container.

However, when I try to upload or download a blob, the transferring step hangs indefinitely.

Download:

I am also unable to cancel the transfers, and have to close and re-open the application.

Steps to Reproduce

• In WSL, install Azurite, and start HTTPS server, by following steps here:
  • https://github.com/Azure/Azurite?tab=readme-ov-file#npm
  • https://github.com/Azure/Azurite?tab=readme-ov-file#mkcert
  • https://github.com/Azure/Azurite?tab=readme-ov-file#oauth-configuration
• In Azure Storage Explorer, import root certificate
  • https://github.com/Azure/Azurite?tab=readme-ov-file#storage-explorer-with-azurite-https
• Connect to Azurite via HTTPS connection string
  • https://github.com/Azure/Azurite?tab=readme-ov-file#add-azurite-via-https-connection-string
• Attempt to upload or download file from container

Actual Experience

The upload/download hangs indefinitely on the transferring step (see screenshots above)
