SL5 client accessing an secured (HTTPS) Odata service

Question

I have a SL5 client that is hosted on Windows Azure.
I have some OData WCF services that work perfectly fine. Calling the odata services from the SL5 client works fine both running locally and remotely on Azure. The problem is https. I've uploaded the bought certificate and I can call the odata wcf services
secure by using https from Fiddler2 and it gets the proper results.
When I run the SL5 client locally in my VS2012 environment it also works fine calling the https endpoint. After deployment to Windows Azure the client stops working and the calls to the https endpoints don't work anymore :-(
anybody has a clue?

hi RiccardoBecker,
Thanks for posting!
Base on my experience, when hosted WCF service on windows azure, we could use Service Bus (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee173579.aspx )to access
it  on client side in intranet or internet. So if you used in intranet, I suggest you could create service bus to access it. Or if you use internet, I suggest you check your endpoint address setting. You need use your cloud address to access
wcf service on client side. You could download those code sample (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazure/CSAzureWCFServices-20c7d9c5 &
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/188464/Host-WCF-Services-in-an-Azure-Worker-Role ) and try it.
Any question, please let me know.
Regards,
Will
