EduLorenzo, your backend application is sending a redirect response for an *.azurewebsites.net URL (Location header). Azure Front Door simply forwards the response to the client and then the client obeys and redirects to the *.azurewebsites.net URL.

 

Unfortunately, AFD does not support yet rewriting response headers (see UserVoice issue) - this would allow you to change the Location header coming in the response to AFD's custom domain name. You must thus ensure your application does not perform redirects when responding to AFD or else consider changing your solution architecture.

    hspinto understood. So, how do I go about this scenario?

     

    1. url for the app is myapp.com pointed to AFD; which is myapp.azurefdnet; which in turn is routed to myazureapp.azurewebsites.net

     

    2. what do I use to get myapp.com from code, as 

    HttpContext.Current.Request.Url returns myazureapp.azurewebsites.net
