title: Windows Azure and web.config settings
body: <p>I'm new to Windows Azure and just created my first "Web Site". Very easy and running well. 1 question though...</p>
  
  <p>Does Azure ignore and/or override some or all settings that I have configured in my web.config file?</p>
  
  <p>As a simple example, I have the following in my web.config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;system.webServer&gt;
      &lt;defaultDocument enabled="true"&gt;
          &lt;files&gt;
              &lt;clear /&gt;
              &lt;add value="index.html" /&gt;
          &lt;/files&gt;
      &lt;/defaultDocument&gt;
  &lt;/system.webServer&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I still see many possible default documents listed on the Configure tab for my site.</p>
  
  <p>It got me wondering what other settings it is ignoring.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
