Error on Swagger page

After publishing our API, we noticed a big red Error at the bottom of our Swagger UI page:

clip_image002

After clicking on it, we see the following error message:

{"schemaValidationMessages":[{"level":"error","message":"Can't read from file http://myapp/swagger/docs/v1"}]}

What’s happening here?

By default swagger uses an online validator to check your swagger file against the OpenAPI 2.0 Schema  If it cannot access your swagger url then you’ll end up with the error message above. As the API we are using is an internal one, it makes sense that we got this error.

But how can we get rid of it?

A first solution would be to just disable the validation in your SwashBuckle configuration:

If you want to keep the validation, a second solution would be to host the validator locally.

The steps to do this are explained here: https://github.com/swagger-api/validator-badge#running-locally. In that case you need to specify the location of the validator:

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
