Remove redirection of localhost to HTTPS

Remove redirection of localhost to HTTPS

Symptoms

  • Chrome redirects http://localhost to https://localhost
  • On guest mode, http://localhost is accessible
  • Curl can retrieve http://localhost

Cause

One of my test project was configuring SSL on nginx.
The configuration was redirecting localhost to https for testing purposes and Chrome had since then cached the redirection.
Subsequent calls were no longer hitting nginx as they were only hitting Chrome cache.

Fix

  1. Open the Web Developer Console on Chrome, CTRL+SHIFT+I
  2. Right click on the reload arrow
  3. Select Empty Cache And Hard Reload

This will remove all cached items including the redirection. http://localhost will no longer be redirected by Chrome.

Microsoft Orleans logs warnings and errors

Microsoft Orleans logs warnings and errors Microsoft Orleans is a framework which helps building distributed system by implementing the actor model together with the concept of virtual actors, taking care of availability and concurrency. If you are unfamiliar with Microsoft Orleans, you can look at my previous blog post explaining the benefits of Microsoft Orleans . Even though Orleans promises to abstract the distributed system problems, there are instances where errors arise without us being able to understand what is going on. Lucky us, the logs are well documented… but only for those who can decrypt them. Today I will go through some of the errors and warnings which can be seen from silo and client so that you too can undestand what is going on. Enjoy! The code used to produce those errors can be found on my GitHub https://github.com/Kimserey/orleans-cluster-consul . 1. Client logs Logs on client appears with address {ip}:0 . 1.1. Can’t find implementation of interface An un...

A complete SignalR with ASP Net Core example with WSS, Authentication, Nginx

SignalR with ASP Net Core SignalR is a framework from ASP NET Core allowing us to establish a two way communication between client and server. This two way communication allows the client to send messages to the server but more importantly allows the server to push messages to the client. SignalR makes use of Websocket when available else it falls back to SSE or pulling. Today we will focus on how to setup SignalR to work with WSS, Websocket secure and how we can authenticate the user requesting to connect to our SignalR hub via Webscoket. Getting started with SignalR SSL encryption for Websocket Secure WSS Websocket Authentication with Identity Server 4 SignalR behind Nginx 1. Getting started with SignalR The Hubs are the main components of SignalR. It is an abstraction of a two way communication available for both client and server. Public functions from the hub can be called from the server code and can be called from the client. The frontend NPM package @aspnet/signalr ...

SDK-Style project and project.assets.json

SDK-Style project and project.assets.json Last week I encountered an issue with MSBuild while trying to run it from command line. The issue did not appear when using VisualStudio right click + build but only appeared when using msbuild.exe CLI directly with a clean project. Assets file 'C:\[...]\obj\project.assets.json' not found. Run a NuGet package restore to generate this file. When I first saw the error, few questions came to my mind which I will share today in 3 points: Overview of project.assets.json Slim SDK-Style project Mixing SDK-Style project and old projects Special shoutout to @enricosada who provided me with all the answers regarding the SDK-Style project. 1. Overview of project.assets.json project.assets.json lists all the dependencies of the project. It is created in the /obj folder when using dotnet restore or dotnet build as it implicitly calls restore before build, or msbuid.exe /t:restore with msbuild CLI. To simulate dotnet build (re...
