Windows Azure Node JS WEBSOCKET HandShake Fails 503 Error

I've deployed my nodeJS server in windows azure. My client fails while connecting to server and handle the following error : 

WebSocket connection to 'wss://ooplrfrfranode.azurewebsites.net/socket.io/1/websocket/lHrd-DOydinODjbS7-tc' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 503.

Any Help please. Thanks.
