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.

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

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

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
