HttpClient returning 404 even though the resource exists

Hi guys,

I have created a demo WebApi and hosted it on Azure. When I test in the browser and with Fiddler, all the HTTP verbs work. 

The problem is when I try to use it in my Windows Phone application, I get a 404 error for any request. Below is the code I wrote.

protected async override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
        {            
            using (var client = new HttpClient())
            {
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://apidemov2.azurewebsites.net/");
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

                HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("api/books");
                if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                {
                    //some code 
                }
            }
       }

The code is returning false for IsSuccessStatusCode and returning 404. If I test the uri in Fiddler and the browser, it returns the data.

Please help. Thanks.
