Using azure blob storage to install ios apps

Question

I am trying to set up a private app store using azure. I am trying to use azure blob storage to store .ipa and .plist files. here is the link: http://gknops.imtqy.com/adHocGenerate/

I can upload files to the azure blob repository and the files are available in the container with access to the container (I can view the file on my mobile device).

Now, when I try to use itms services and open the hyperlink of the .plist files, it throws "cannot connect to xxxxxxx.blob.core.windows.net". But when I open the links to my ipa and plist, they work.

All URLs (html, ipa nad plist) are only https and use a mobile network, so there are no network restrictions.

for example: I upload the saved file as: myFile_v2-1-6.ipa, myFile_v2-1-6.plist I access it in html as https://xxxx.blob.core.windows.net/xxxxxxx/myFile_v2-1- 6.plist ">

Can someone help me with this problem? Your help will be greatly appreciated. EDIT: my html is located at https://xxxxxxxxx.azurewebsites.net

Azure Blob storage works great. This is a problem with my plist file. I edit it with an XmlDocument and save it, and then the XmlDocument adds curly brackets [] to the DTD element, which causes the plist file to get corrupted and throw this error.

took some to figure this out, and now I delete [] using the line replacement, and using this plist file. Installing the application works fine.
