New-AzureDeployment - Error while copying content to a stream

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to deploy a packages using the Azure Powershell Cmdlets.
Each time I try to deploy a particular package, I get the following error message..
New-AzureDeployment : Error while copying content to a stream.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-AzureDeployment -DoNotStart -ServiceName $strStagingCCPDeploymentServiceName ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [New-AzureDeployment], HttpRequestException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException,Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.ServiceManagement.HostedServices.NewAzureDeploymentCommand
Looking at the inner exception I am getting
Unable to read data from the transport connection: The connection was closed.
The package itself is only 80mb and uploads to my blob storage successfully however when it tries to deploy using my config file the error occurs.  The same config file works fine if I use the Azure Website to deploy the package, rather than the cmdlets
and I can deploy other packages successfully using PowerShell and using Visual Studio.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi,
This seems to be a network issue, but it's quite strange as you can deploy the package from Visual Studio. Could you please try it on another machine (in another network environment if possible)? Also, can you try
to write a program and call the management API (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460813.aspx) to deploy it?
