What is the external web address to my webjob?

I have deployed an Azure webjob that is running as a web socket server. I can see by the webjob log that it is running and waiting for sockets to connect. I cannot figure out what the external web address is to that socket server.

Let's say my azure site is http://abc.azurewebsites.com and my webjob is called abc-server within the azure portal.

I've tried ws://abc.scm.azurewebsites.net and ws://abc.scm.azurewebsites.net/abc-server

I assume this is possible based of this post: https://mikewaniewski.wordpress.com/2015/06/14/websocket-client-as-azure-webjob/

This is not possible with WebJobs. The blog post is talking a WebSockets client, not a server. You can't run a server in the webjob and expect it to be able to listen to external traffic. In fact you can't listen to external traffic on ports other than 80 and 443, and the IIS worker process w3wp is already listening on both. If you want to run a WebSockets server then you'll need to deploy a normal WebApp, not a WebJob. It depends on what stack you're using, but Azure WebApps supports WebSockets and it should work with most stacks like ASP.NET, NodeJs, etc.
