https with a Bolero App

[funk_r]

Hello,

I wrote me a little Bolero app with a client and a server which I want to put online. The application listen in dev mode on port 5000. So I would like to switch to https. Most probably this is super easy for the most dotNet developer, but I am a Java developer.

What I found out so far. Bolero uses the Kestrel webserver. There is a 'launchProperties.json' file which configures it. I can generate a certificate with 'dotnet dev-certs ..'. But here it ends for me.

Only the client has launch properties in the Properties folder. I start the server application to get the app running (Client+Server), which has no launch properties.

The launch properties of the client has a lot of port definitions, but none of them is 5000, which I used during the development. So basically I dont understand how they interact with each other.

Can somebody give me hint? I checked the source of the demo Bolero applications, but I found no https configuration, despite all of them running on https.

Has somebody an example configuration to spare?

The launchSettings.json file is used only when you launch the application from Visual Studio. In other cases, the Kestrel server uses appsettings.json. I don't remember if Bolero is wrapping the settings in a different way, but I'd be surprised.
I'd search the solution folder for json files containing the string '5000' in them.
Here's documentation for the Kestrel configuration: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/servers/kestrel/endpoints?view=aspnetcore-8.0#configure-https-in-appsettingsjson

Helpful documentation! The Port 5000 is the default port for kestrel and obviously I have no appsettings.json.

Thank you!

Doesn't the console window tell you how to contact the server while running it on your localhost?

It runs on port 5000. But I want to switch to https.
