http taking prevalence over https

[digityne]

Hi all, I'm a little confused about why this is happening, it seems to be something to do with my piranha mvc project setup but I don't know why or how to fix it - I'm relatively new to web tech so please bear with me!

Normally I deploy my asp.net core sites using IIS on a windows VM. I have bindings for both http port 80 and https port 443.
When I then visit a domain name pointing to the VM e.g. www.xyz.com it always resolves to https, even if I prefix the url with http it changes automatically.

This isn't happening for my piranha project, and if I decorate the CMSController with RequireHttps it works on some pages, but not on the manager pages.

Any idea why this is happening? I've tried a normal asp.net mvc project on the same domain name and it works as expected, but using the default piranha project seems to have some different settings.

Most templates provided by Microsoft contains the following line in the Configure method in Startup.cs which will effectively redirect all requests to http to https. However our templates do not contain this by default, have you tried adding this line manually?

app.UseHttpsRedirection();

Man I feel so silly, I had been googling this, scouring my project properties for anything to do with SSL and HTTPS, changing the controller, comparing projects and I even did look at Startup.cs in another project which has the UseHttpsRedirection method - I just overlooked it.

Thanks a tonne, I won't forget this issue any time soon.
