This site can’t provide a secure connection

问题:

When I added the URL rewrite code in web.config and then publish it into azure. it will automatically redirects to https even I am trying to access website with http.

<rewrite>
  <rules>
    <rule name="Redirect to https">
      <match url="(.*)"/>
      <conditions>
        <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="Off"/>
      </conditions>
      <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}"/>
    </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite>

But when I run the same code in my local machine it gives the below error.

This site can’t provide a secure connection

How can I resolve the above error when I run the above code in my local machine?

What I do personally is put that rewrite configuration into Web.Release.config precisely because it is a bit fiddly to get it working locally.

The problem is that IIS Express will expose HTTP and HTTPS on different ports, so if you redirect from http://localhost:1234 to https://localhost:1234, it simply won't work, because IIS Express is exposing HTTPS on something like https://localhost:44300.

You can enable SSL/TLS on IIS Express (and you should), but I would leave the rewrite rule only for Release mode.

Here is an example Web.Release.config file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
  <system.web>
    <compilation xdt:Transform="RemoveAttributes(debug)" />
  </system.web>
  <system.webServer>
    <rewrite xdt:Transform="Insert">
      <rules>
        <!-- Redirects users to HTTPS if they try to access with HTTP -->
        <rule
          name="Force HTTPS"
          stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="(.*)"/>
          <conditions>
            <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" ignoreCase="true"/>
          </conditions>
          <action
            type="Redirect"
            url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}"
            redirectType="Permanent"/>
        </rule>
      </rules>
      <outboundRules>
        <!-- Enforces HTTPS for browsers with HSTS -->
        <!-- As per official spec only sent when users access with HTTPS -->
        <rule
          xdt:Transform="Insert"
          name="Add Strict-Transport-Security when HTTPS"
          enabled="true">
          <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_Strict_Transport_Security"
              pattern=".*" />
          <conditions>
            <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="on" ignoreCase="true" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Rewrite" value="max-age=31536000" />
        </rule>
      </outboundRules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Note that I also add HSTS here. It inserts the <rewrite> element into Web.config in Release mode. The <system.webServer> element already exists in Web.config, otherwise I would be inserting that.

You will have to configure Visual Studio Server to be used with HTTPS. Please go through this link for details:

I solved this problem with older version of Chrome web browser.

This is the list of older chrome versions where you can download and install it.

60.0.3112.90 - for Ubuntu is the version that works just fine for me.

Maybe it's little slower then newer versions but i found it's pretty good for production (:
