asp.net-mvc-5browser-link

Is it true that ASP.NET MVC Browser link does not work for https (SSL) url?

I am trying the Browserlink feature of ASP.NET MVC 5 and everything works great for non SSL pages. But if I navigate to a SSL page (with https url), I see 0 connections in the Browser link dashboard. So, is it true that Browser link works only for non SSL urls ? Or am I am missing any settings which will allow me to get Browser Link connection for both SSL and Non SSL urls ?

(I am testing from IIS)

Solution

  • According to this link, Microsoft is working on it.

    I have been able to get around the issue by following these steps (using Chrome):

    1. When the debugger opens the browser, open the F12 tools.
    2. Go to the Console tab.
    3. There should be an error message that looks something like this: GET https://localhost:[port]/[guid]/browserLink net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE
    4. Open the link in a new tab.
    5. Click Proceed anyway.
    6. Close the Browser Link tab.
    7. Reload the tab with your app.

    Browser Link should then start working.
