Comment (by dcf):

 I got something running on Azure Websites.
 {{{
 $ wget -q -O - https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ --header 'Host:
 az668014.vo.msecnd.net'
 I’m just a happy little web server.
 }}}
 ajax.aspnetcdn.com is the front domain. az668014.vo.msecnd.net is the CDN-
 assigned domain, which is an alias for meek-reflect.azurewebsites.net,
 which is where the service is actually running. All I had to do for code
 is upload the index.php from #10984.

 The CDN layer appears to be necessary. This doesn't work:
 {{{
 $ wget -O - https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ --header 'Host: meek-
 reflect.azurewebsites.net'
 ERROR 404: Not Found.
 }}}

 I think for a real deployment we'll want to use a "Cloud Service" and not
 an "Azure Website." That's a bit more involved, with an SDK etc. We can
 apparently write the service in Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, .NET, or Ruby.
 The SDK is free software and apparently you can script stuff from the
 command line.

 P.S. Don't count on the domains in this comment remaining stable.
