[BUG] When using Azurite and the connection string is incorrect, TableAsyncClient operation does not finish

Thanks for reporting this @taisuke-fujimoto.

Looking through the stack trace something seems a bit off here, nothing you did just something I noticed, where createTable is attempting to deserialize the response as XML but the documentation for the REST API says it should be JSON:

https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/create-table#json-version-2013-08-15-and-later-1

If possible, could you get a capture of what Azurite is returning for a response when this API is called.

Even with the latest version of Azurite (3.30.0), the response when an authentication error occurs is XML.

Thanks for sharing that @taisuke-fujimoto.

@jairmyree, @vcolin7 could you follow-up and do a comparison of the behavior when using the Tables service instead of Azurite. If the behaviors are different we can follow-up with Azurite to be consistent with the service, if the behaviors are the same we'll need to investigate further as this would mean that the service returns different error formats on authentication issues vs invalid request issues.
