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)

What is SSL in asp net?

In this article, you will learn about the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) in the ASP.NET Web API. In the Web API there are many authentication schemes that are not secure over the HTTP. There are two authentications, Basic Authentication and Form Authentication. Both are sent the unencrypted references.

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.
