After a Windows 7 fresh restart, I open the Visual Studio 2010 as administrator, create a new project of Windows Azure Project with ASP.NET Web Role, then at the WebRole1 project I add a WebService1.asmx and press F5 (run).

The Windows Azure services starts OK and the browser open the http:/127.0.0.1:8080/WebService1.asmx perfectly. But when I click at Invoke button to test the webservice method I always receive a Bad Request – Invalid Hostname, with a http:/127.0.0.1:8081/WebService1.asmx/HelloWorld.

    The most likely cause is ASMX’s WSDL file doesn’t stand by load balanced environment such as Windows Azure. The test feature relies on WSDL. You will see similar issues if you add a web/service reference. It is recommended to upgrade to WCF. In WCF, you can use useRequestHeadersForMetadataAddress (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee816894.aspx) to fix the issue. If you need to use ASMX, please try to manually provide a correct WSDL file.
