Use .html not .shtml for Server Side Includes on Azure Web Site

Question

I would like to enable SSI on an Azure Web Site to but using .html rather than .shtml. SSI is enabled but for the life of me I can't find a way to get it to process .html.

Locally I've added a handler to web.config

<system.webServer>
    <handlers accessPolicy="Read, Script">
    <add name="ASPClassicHtml" path="*.html" verb="GET,HEAD,POST" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%IIS_BIN%\asp.dll" resourceType="File" />
    </handlers>
</system.webServer>

And that works fine, but when I upload to the azure web site my i get the following error;

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Any suggestions?

It's not possible at the moment but SSI module inclusion on WAWS is apparently in the pipe-line. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazurewebsitespreview/thread/391a7918-00e8-49af-b2db-675980aebbd0
