SignalR Core app deployed to Azure doesn't work over https

Question

I've created a simple web app with SignalR Core and deployed it into Azure, and enabled websockets for app service.

But after that when I try to access it using https:// it returns HTTP ERROR 500.

Any idea what is wrong? Do I need to set anything else in settings to make it work over https?

Answer 1

when I try to access it using https:// it returns HTTP ERROR 500.

Please make sure your SignalR app could run without any error before publishing it to Azure website. I have a sample app that works fine on local and Azure, please refer to it.
