❔ VS Debug Bad Request - Invalid Hostname

I am new to dot net and I am supposed to implement some frontend. I have cloned the project, I am supposed to run it on IIS Express. I've fixed ssl certificate and now I'm facing Bad Request Invalid Hostname when I run debug on IIS Express in Visual Studio.. I've tried changing both ...\Site\Site.vs\Site\config\applicationhost.config and ~documents\IIS Express\config\applicationhost.config like so:

<site name="Site" id="1">
        <application path="/" applicationPool="Site AppPool">
          <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="My\Path\.." />
        </application>
        <bindings>
          <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:4300:localhost" />
          <binding protocol="https" bindingInformation="*:44395:localhost" />
        </bindings>
      </site>

<site name="Site" id="1">
        <application path="/" applicationPool="Site AppPool">
          <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="My\Path\.." />
        </application>
        <bindings>
          <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:4300:localhost" />
          <binding protocol="https" bindingInformation="*:44395:localhost" />
        </bindings>
      </site>

I've tried changing browsers, deleting ...\Site.vs folder and then running it again None of those worked

Could it be something with the code ? I see no IIS Express logs :/ is there any way I could find some logs to help solving this question

IIS express 😬 is there an alternative? I don't know anyone that uses IIS anymore

PeacemakerOP•2y ago

oooh is it that ancient ? 😄 I was just instructed to use IIS Express, other choices like https/http debug threw an error

what kind of a front-end do you have?

PeacemakerOP•2y ago

update: I don't know what I have done, but https debug "works" now with same response pure html css js no api fetching

and you're running it locally or on a server?

PeacemakerOP•2y ago

cloned repo running it locally meaning invalid hostname

Tvde1•2y ago

you can just open the html file in your browser

the company has setup pipeline around .net, I will try to talk about options with them or I could just copy and paste the code from my local html,css,js thing hoping it will work since cloned code is from live server, dunno 😄 life is strange vice versa of "it works on my machine" 😄 😄 😄

What makes you ask that?

PeacemakerOP•2y ago

Yep. I've given up, now I just copy paste from local files into cloned files -> pull request and pray to god this time there are no issues I've even tried commenting out the "::1 localhost" from hosts file in windows>system32>.. dont remember full path kek

life is strange, I can say with 100% confidence I have something out of the ordinary setup in windows. Bindings are correctly setup in IIS Express, Hosts file in windows drivers looks fine, Only thing I would be sussy of is Windows Subsystem Linux which docker is using all the time
