We already discovered an issue with enabling Azure CDN Compression , but now we can't get compression and ETag caching ( 304s ) working simultaneously. This issue has been posted to Azure forums here . Here is an example of the compressed , but not HTTP cacheable (304) link: https://xxxx.vo.msecnd.net/resourceManager.axd?token=HL80vX5hf3lIAAA&group=core.js Here is an example of the cacheable (304) , but not compressible (gzip) link: https://xxxx.vo.msecnd.net/resourceManager.axd?token=HL80vX5hf3lIAAA

So I have the following requirements: 1. Compile a large MVC app and pre-compile all of its views. 2. Run transforms for web.config 3. Package and publish for deployment into Azure Web Role I can do 1 with a modified proj file, 2 works if I us msdeploy, and 3 works fine when I use the VS 2012 Azure tools. Now I want to put these all together into a scripted process. Has anyone already done the leg work to get this running? 1) /p:PrecompileBeforePublish=true 2 + 3) You need to add the following MSBuild target in your .ccproj to copy in your transformed Web.config file (using Web.Release.config

I have a method (in a separated class library) which is called by a WebRole and a WorkerRole. This method contains the path of a file, which is returned using Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("RoleRoot") , as follows: private string FooPath() { string appRoot = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("RoleRoot"); return Path.Combine(appRoot + @"\", @"approot\file.foo"); } When I call this method from a WorkerRole the path is returned normally. But when I call it from a WebRole I get null . Any ideas? EDIT: I am using APNS-Sharp to send push messages to iOS and it requires a .p12 certificate in

I'm trying to connect web and worker role. So i have a page where user can upload video files. Files are large so i can't use the query to send files. That's why i'm trying to upload them into the Blob Storage and then send the url by the query. But i don't know how to get this url. Can anyone help me? Gaurav Mantri Assuming you're uploading the blobs into blob storage using .Net storage client library by creating an instance of CloudBlockBlob , you can get the URL of the blob by reading Uri property of the blob. static void BlobUrl() { var account = new CloudStorageAccount(new

One great advantage of using Azure Websites is that I can get secure HTTP (HTTPS) without doing nothing: I simply type https://xyz.azurewebsites.net and it works. I don't have to worry about certificates because I use the subdomain that Azure gives me (in the example it would be xyz ) So, what I usually do is that people come by through some registered domain I have, eg. http://www.my-application-homepage.com , and there, if they want to use my application, I redirect them to the subdomain at azurewebsites.net , using HTTPS. Now, having said that: I'm in need of upgrading to Azure Cloud
