Azure CDN for cloud service requests are forwarded to <myapp>.cloudapp.net instead of my custom hostname binding

As mentioned in the title above I have a cloudservice with a WebRole that runs a web app www.myappname.com. I have taken all necessary steps to enable serving of CDN content from my app using url rewrite module on IIS. This works fine but:

The requests coming in from CDN are forwarded to .cloudapp.net instead of my custom hostname binding. I cannot find any place to change this in my configuration. When I create a new CDN endpoint my options for setting the ORIGIN DOMAIN are limited to my cloud service endpoints
Say I got a custom domain name for my cloud service CDN endpoint (ex. static.appnamecdn.com). What happens when I make request with https? I don't see any place to register the "static.appnamecdn.com" 's ssl certificate. Isn't something like this required?

Solution

From the help icon on the Create CDN Endpoint screen (Azure Management Portal) I got my answer to the second point above:

If you choose to enable HTTPS for your CDN endpoint, keep in mind the following points:

You must use the certificate provided by the CDN. Third party certificates are not supported.

You must use the CDN domain to access content. HTTPS support is not available for custom domain names (CNAMEs) since the CDN does not support custom certificates at this time.

HTTPS is from the CDN to the client only. Requests from the CDN to the content provider (Storage Account or hosted service) are still made using HTTP.
