Thank you Rune for the precious hint. That didn't solve my problem but it pointed me to the right direction, because I have the latest version of Azure SDK (1.8) and this WaIISHost.exe.config trick no longer works on the latest version of Azure. HERE is stated what I just said and the solution that worked for me, which is to rename the WaIISHost.exe.config file to MyWebAppName.dll.config (placing it at the same level of your web.config file in your web app and setting its Copy to output Directory property to 'Copy Always'. Of course this config file contains the binding redirect section as I described above.
