Setting azure portal icon for new images

Question

According to the Azure Service Management REST API, one should be able to set the icon to be displayed in the portal using the IconUri and SmallIconUri tags as described here.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj157198.aspx
I sent this command with these values set to the URLs for publicly available png icon files and created a new image.  The image was created successfully and no errors were returned, however the icons displayed are still the default windows icons.
Is this feature disabled somehow or is there some other specification that needs to be set or addressed?
I could continue to try endless possibilities (like different sized icons or URL locations) but it seems like this should have worked according to the API specification since no other restrictions were stated.
Could someone please tell me how to get this to work?

Hi
Sorry for mis-understand your question:
I think this IconURI feature disabled.
Because in latest Azure Management Class libraries, this class libraries is based on latest Azure REST API.
You can't find IconUri property.
MSDN article always update slowly.
