We are trying to get our .NET devs to use the ASP.NET Development Server (VS2008) for web development instead of a local instance of IIS.
I received this response as a reason why some of our devs can’t use it: ‘Our XXXX Online Sales application uses SSL to protect passwords. While Visual Studio does permit some basic web application development without IIS, the light weight replacement does not support SSL.’
Does this make sense? Is there a work-around?
Thanks!
The web server built into VS doesn’t not support SSL. It is meant to be a quick way to test an application. For SSL, you would need to use IIS and get a certificate.
