So it appears with the advent of ASP.NET Core 2.1, Kestrel now automatically creates an HTTPS endpoint along side the HTTP one, and default project templates are setup to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS (which is easy enough to undo).

However my question is... how can I disable HTTPS entirely for my project. I've read through the docs and played with a variety of config settings for HTTPS but nothing I do seems to allow me to turn it off and just run an HTTP project.

Am I crazy or just missing something. I would expect this to be super easy to do.

If you are using Visual Studio 2017, then you can do the following:

  1. Go to your project properties. (Right-click > Properties)
  2. Click on the Debug tab.
  3. Under Web Server Settings, deselect Enable SSL.
  4. Save, build, and try again.

This will update the iisExpress settings in the launchSettings.json file.
