I have an Azure production site with a Pay-As-You-Go subscription. I have two custom domain names configured for it. MySite.org and www.MySite.org
Some of my site visitors access my site via HTTPS, although I never intended to use HTTPS. I do not need SSL for this site. They receive an alert browser warning: There is a problem with this website security certificate. I don’t know why and how they use HTTPS, but it doesn’t matter, I have to be able to solve this from the server side.
I want to disable SSL binding, but I cannot find a place for this on the Azure Management Portal. As a workaround, I decided to try the Rewrite URL rule to switch from HTTPS to HTTP (usually it was necessary to redirect a different direction.), But the warning warning still works in the browser, because the browser still processes the HTTPS request first before redirecting to the website on which SSL is installed. Ugh.
I found this:
Windows Azure websites are actually configured to work on SSL, and if you do not want your own domain, you can use SSL immediately. All you have to do is just view it! In your browser, change the prefix from HTTP: // to HTTPS: // and voila! Your site will respond and you will have a secure connection to it. However, we do not recommend using this to protect confidential content or applications, since the wildcard certificate used is common to all Azure websites.

It's great, but how do I turn it off ?!
Thanks in advance,
