Keeping your original WCF config file and making it run in Azure as a worker role

If you get 405 errors while trying to access the WCF service with GET enabled in the config file, note that you will need to modify the config file behaviors area right next to where you enable httpget to the DNS name of the azure deployment: x.cloudapp.net

Otherwise, no matter what you do, you will not be able to get the browser to access the WCF URL. This is when you have HTTP end points for the WCF service with internal endpoint of azure.
