I have hosted a static website in azure mainly by following the Microsoft tutorials. The process has been to create a storage account, create a CDN endpoint, map my custom domain to the endpoint and then enable HTTPS using an SSL certificate managed by azure.
The custom domain is working but the problem is firstly that although in Azure CDN it says that both HTTP and HTTPS are enabled, I can only access the website via HTTPS and when I try with HTTP the error I get says 'The account being accessed doesn't support HTTP'. The other thing is that in order to navigate to the secure site I have to put the entire URL in the search bar, starting with the https or the website can't be found. I'm not sure if this is normal but if I think of web browsing in general, this isn't usually necessary.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Default is that Azure only Allows HTTPS.
On App Service go to TLS/SSL settings and switch to HTTPS Only to Off.
On Storage Account go to Configuration and change Secure transfer
required to disabled.

I use Static website feature of Azure storage account to host React.js application. There is also a CDN endpoint enable for the site (Microsoft Standard CDN pricing tier), so the site URL looks like https://xxx.azureedge.net/. The problem: when I try to access the site via HTTP protocol, it says:
The account being accessed does not support http.
HttpStatusCode: 400
ErrorCode: AccountRequiresHttps
RequestId : 46959fc9-a01e-006d-2bc5-6b781e000000
TimeStamp : 2020-08-06T07:48:01.6590412Z
I would like the user to be redirected to HTTPS version.
You can allow HTTP without CDN:
Under "Settings"->"Configuration" set "Secure tranfer required" to "Disabled".
However, for redirecting to HTTPS you need for example CDN.
The solution was found in Microsoft documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cdn/cdn-standard-rules-engine#redirect-users-to-https
It says that the redirection from HTTP to HTTPS can be configured in the Rules engine of CDN endpoint.
It makes sense to keep in mind that:
the rules will not be applied immediately, in my case it started to work in 10 minutes.
the Rules engine is available for Standard Microsoft and Premium Verizon.
Hope someone can assist me in correcting this. I am on the last step to enable my CDN endpoint with a custom domain. currently the static website on storage works correctly the following ways.
1 - Storage Account endpoint
2 - Azure CDN xxxxxx.azureedge.net
CNAME is created and correctly configured and validated in azure for my cdn.customdomain.com but when I try to connect to it I get a ERR_CONNECTION_RESET when using a browser or 404 using curl. Any advice anyone can provide.
You could verify the followings:
Configuration. Make sure you select the Custom origin as the origin type and static website URI as the origin hostname.
Networking related. ISP blocks some websites. Firewall blocks specific websites. Internet connection is disabled or interrupted. Refer to this.
Browser error like Chrome. Clear your browser's cache and all locally stored data including cookies or try to use another browser. Refer to this.
Moreover, you could verify this via accessing the cdn.customdomain.com in an Azure VM, which is a different environment from the on-premise network.
Given I have a HTTP (non-secure) web server up and running with the public address 111.111.111.11:80.
Are there any / what Microsoft Azure products, where I can setup my own custom domain (mydomain.com) as a HTTPS front/reverse proxy to my web server without buying my own certificate?
(Currently, I am using Cloudflare Crypto to achieve this, so I am investigating if Microsoft Azure can achieve this as well in an easy way)
As far as I know, the recommended Azure way to do this would be to use Application Gateway and a CNAME for the custom domain. This question also has some information on using a custom domain for Application Gateway.
However, if you want to use a custom domain, you will need to buy a certificate. You can do this through Azure as well. You can then use the certificate for the Application Gateway.
Edit: Sorry, Application Gateway does not seem to support the static public IP in your scenario. You would need to work around that. It might be easier to go a different route then...
I have an Azure Media Service set up with a Premium subscription. I made an Android app which uses VideoView player and requests the multi-bitrate video files over HTTPS using the following format for asset links:
https://example.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net/c2234567-be1a-123c-ca25-e90bfca246da/1227_e3337f7-35ac-43e0-b55c-223e3333662.ism/QualityLevels(421811)/Manifest(video,format=m3u8-aapl)
Until now, I had CDN integration disabled. This worked fine and I never had issues using HTTPS.
However, now I want to enable CDN integration with default settings. When this feature is enabled, it automatically attaches the media service subdomain as a custom domain under the CDN (in this case example.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net). From what I understand, this means I should be able to continue making requests from my Android app to the same URLs as before, except now it will direct those requests to the CDN instead of the media service.
However, what I'm not sure of is whether or not I'll still be able to call those URLs over HTTPS. I see that Azure has a feature for Custom Domains with HTTPS in the works but it doesn't appear to be available yet.
So does the ability to call media service asset URLs over HTTPS carry over after CDN integration, and especially if I'm using the default media service subdomain as my custom domain?
If not, what will happen to the HTTPS calls? Will they receive no response or will they just bypass the CDN?
you should have no issues using HTTPS on CDN enabled Media Services Endpoints.
The Custom Domain HTTPS primarily refers to vanity urls like "blizz.com", which is not currently supported.
As mentioned in the title above I have a cloudservice with a WebRole that runs a web app www.myappname.com. I have taken all necessary steps to enable serving of CDN content from my app using url rewrite module on IIS. This works fine but:
The requests coming in from CDN are forwarded to .cloudapp.net instead of my custom hostname binding. I cannot find any place to change this in my configuration. When I create a new CDN endpoint my options for setting the ORIGIN DOMAIN are limited to my cloud service endpoints
Say I got a custom domain name for my cloud service CDN endpoint (ex. static.appnamecdn.com). What happens when I make request with https? I don't see any place to register the "static.appnamecdn.com" 's ssl certificate. Isn't something like this required?
From the help icon on the Create CDN Endpoint screen (Azure Management Portal) I got my answer to the second point above:
If you choose to enable HTTPS for your CDN endpoint, keep in mind the
following points:
You must use the certificate provided by the CDN. Third party certificates are not supported.
You must use the CDN domain to access content. HTTPS support is not available for custom domain names (CNAMEs) since the CDN does
not support custom certificates at this time.
HTTPS is from the CDN to the client only. Requests from the CDN to the content provider (Storage Account or hosted service) are
still made using HTTP.
Regarding your first question, I don't think that is possible...Azure's CDN unfortunately is somewhat limited in its options.
As to the 2nd, as was said in the other answer, it's not possible to use HTTPS with a custom domain name :/
