I'm building a simple website in vs2015. I have IIS express selected as the hosting environment. I have tried multiple new projects and seem to be going around in circles, having installed and uninstalled iis-express 10 multiple times, and added and removed windows feature of iis also. When I launch a web project from vs2015, it used to open (without issue) a http://localhost:port (e.g. http://localhost:51898), but now continually redirects to https://localhost.
Any idea why?
It is not about Visual Studio, it is about Chrome. This solution worked for me: Google Chrome redirecting localhost to https
In my situation it was caused by this piece of code:
services.Configure<MvcOptions>(options =>
{
options.Filters.Add(new RequireHttpsAttribute());
});
Anyway double check you startup.cs file. Maybe configurations there are part of a problem
in my case, it was a configuration i did on IIS for all my sites to load via https. The rewrite rule matched localhost as well and hence it redirects to https. I rewrote the redirect rule and it was ok.
