I have both MiniBlog and Orchard running in my Azure Websites account. In both cases, Windows Live Writer is not able to connect.

- Navigation fails from Live Writer:
Since this is working neither for Orchard CMS nor MiniBlog, I am wondering whether it has something to do with Azure security. How do I connect Windows Live Writer to a blog that's running in a Windows Azure Website?
I had manually configured a Web Proxy during a previous trouble shooting session. When I unchecked the Manually configure settings box, Live Writer again worked.
Open Set Proxy...
