Kestrel on https with asp.net core 1.0

Question

I want to run Kestrel on https with asp.net core 1.0 I tried to follow this post http://dotnetthoughts.net/how-to-setup-https-on-kestrel/

But it doesn't work with asp.net core

It is giving the error at

app.UseKestrelHttps(certificate)

The error is

Error CS1061 'IApplicationBuilder' does not contain a definition for 'UseKestrelHttps' and no extension method 'UseKestrelHttps' accepting a first argument of type 'IApplicationBuilder' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Answer 1

That article seems to be about ASP.NET 5 RC1. According to this post, in ASP.NET Core, .UseKestrelHttps() has been replaced with options.UseHttps(), for example:

var host = new WebHostBuilder()
    .UseKestrel(options => {
        options.UseHttps(new X509Certificate2(...));
    })

You need to add Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Https to your project to get the UseHttps functionality.
