ASP.NET Core 2.2 - SignalR Breaking changes

After a seamlessly flawless upgrade to ASP.NET Core, we got into trouble when using SignalR hubs.

In our code we were rather lazy and had allowed CORS for everything:

In ASP.NET Core 2.2 it is no longer allowed to combine AllowAnyOrigin and AllowCredentials.  When you try to use the two together, you‘ll see the following warning in the output window:

warn: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cors.Infrastructure.CorsService

The CORS protocol does not allow specifying a wildcard (any) origin and credentials at the same time. Configure the policy by listing individual origins if credentials needs to be supported.

Problem is that this warning breaks the preflight OPTIONS check of SignalR and the client can no longer connect to the hubs.

To fix this, you have to remove the AllowAnyOrigin method and instead specify the origins explicitly(like it should be in the first place):

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…
