Answer 1

I ran into this in a Web App on Azure when attempting to connect to Blob Storage. The problem turned out to be that I had missed deploying a connection string for the blob storage so it was still pointing at the storage emulator. There must be some retry logic built into the client because I saw about 3 attempts. The /devstorageaccount1 here is a dead giveaway.

Fixed by properly setting the connection string in Azure.
