How to test SSL switching using VS2010 on Win7


I developed a large web application with VS2008 installed on an old Win2k3 server. I now have Visual Studio 2010 installed on Win7 Pro and work on the application fine.

Parts of my web application need to switch into and out of SSL which they did on the Win2k3 server using the IIS tool that creates a private SSL cert.

However I now need to make changes to those parts and now need to be able to test it on the VS2010 internal web server as I no longer have a dev web server like I used to. Is there any way I can do this or is it definitely a no no?


Solution

  • With the release of VS2010SP1 & IIS Express you can now to debug code that uses with https/SSL without having to use a FULL IIS server.
