Trying to get from the sea to the sky: Publishing to Azure via Squid
Published on Estimated reading time: 1 minutes
Microsoft has some awesome guidelines on how to publish directly from Visual Studio to Azure, however, if your IT department has installed Squid, the open-source proxy server, you may be out of luck as recent versions only support HTTP/1.0, and publishing requires 1.1.
Through some testing with the IT department at BBD Software, we’ve found that you need to be on Squid 3.1 or later; otherwise, you won’t be able to do it automatically.*
*You can still publish to a local file, then upload via the Silverlight-based admin console—but that’s too close to FTP to be cool! 😉
