I'm trying to get a simple HTTP console app running as an Azure Service App. All it does is return OK when you connect. It works fine on my laptop and I can publish to Azure ok using VS2019. The issue is the prefixes that are used for listening.
On my laptop I can use http://+:80/;https://+:443/, but in Azure I get an error: [EXCEPTION] Access is denied.
This article https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Azure-Web-App-sandbox#network-endpoint-listening implies the app will listen on 80 and 443 "The only way an application can be accessed via the internet is through the already-exposed HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443) TCP ports; applications may not listen on other ports for packets arriving from the internet. However, applications may create a socket which can listen for connections from within the sandbox. For example, two processes within the same app may communicate with one another via TCP sockets; connection attempts incoming from outside the sandbox, albeit they be on the same machine, will fail. See the next topic for additional detail."
but my code always fails when I try and register the prefix. I can't use localhost as the same article says that's not allowed. I've tried using the app URL but that doesn't work either.
I've seen other articles that imply the HTTPListener needs admin permissions which I can't give it in Azure.
Does anyone know what the correct prefixes are or if it's ever going to work?
