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.

One way to structure Web App built in F# and WebSharper

Image
Architecture for Web App built in F# and WebSharper F# + WebSharper is an awesome combination to build web application . The only problem is that if you want to build a web app larger than a to-do list, it’s hard to find examples to use as references. It is even harder to find tutorials that touches on overall design and answer questions like: How should I start? Where should I put the code? How should I separate the code, put it in different files, with different namespaces or modules? How many layers? Asking these questions at the beginning of the development is important. All these questions if answered correctly will lead to a good structure for the application. Answered incorrectly, or not even asked, will most likely lead to unmaintainable/fragile/rigid (or whatever bad adjectives for coding) code. Over the last few months, I have been working on a web app built in F# with WebSharper and came out with an architecture that caters to extensions and decoupling. Today, I wil...

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...

Understand Xamarin Forms Data bindings with F#

Image
Undertand Xamarin Forms data bindings in F# In Xamarin.Forms, interacting with buttons, labels, lists and all other controls is done via data bindings. Data bindings is one of the core component of the MVVM pattern (model - view - viewmodel). It provides a way to isolate model - view - viewmodel and therefore allows them to be swapped independently (for example for UI changes by swapping with another view or for testing purposes by swapping the viewmodel). There is a very good tutorial on the Xamarin website about data bindings https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/xaml/xaml-basics/data_binding_basics/ . In Xamarin.Forms, everything that can be done in XAML can be coded in C# which means that we can code everything in F# . When coding the whole view, it is easy to get mixed up between views and viewmodels. There is no visible separation compared to using XAML where it is obvious that the XAML file is the view and the code linked to the view is the viewmodel. So today I...
