What I do personally is put that rewrite configuration into Web.Release.config precisely because it is a bit fiddly to get it working locally.
The problem is that IIS Express will expose HTTP and HTTPS on different ports, so if you redirect from http://localhost:1234
to https://localhost:1234
, it simply won't work, because IIS Express is exposing HTTPS on something like https://localhost:44300
.
You can enable SSL/TLS on IIS Express (and you should), but I would leave the rewrite rule only for Release mode.
Here is an example Web.Release.config file:
<?xml version="1.0"?><configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform"> <system.web> <compilation xdt:Transform="RemoveAttributes(debug)" /> </system.web> <system.webServer> <rewrite xdt:Transform="Insert"> <rules> <!-- Redirects users to HTTPS if they try to access with HTTP --> <rule name="Force HTTPS" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*)"/> <conditions> <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" ignoreCase="true"/> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent"/> </rule> </rules> <outboundRules> <!-- Enforces HTTPS for browsers with HSTS --> <!-- As per official spec only sent when users access with HTTPS --> <rule xdt:Transform="Insert" name="Add Strict-Transport-Security when HTTPS" enabled="true"> <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_Strict_Transport_Security" pattern=".*" /> <conditions> <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="on" ignoreCase="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" value="max-age=31536000" /> </rule> </outboundRules> </rewrite> </system.webServer></configuration>
Note that I also add HSTS here. It inserts the <rewrite>
element into Web.config in Release mode. The <system.webServer>
element already exists in Web.config, otherwise I would be inserting that.
You will have to configure Visual Studio Server to be used with HTTPS.Please go through this link for details:

I solved this problem with older version of Chrome web browser.
This is the list of older chrome versions where you can download and install it.
60.0.3112.90 - for Ubuntu is the version that works just fine for me.
Maybe it's little slower then newer versions but i found it's pretty good for production (:
