ASP.NET Core - InvalidOperationException: 'VaryByQueryKeys' requires the response cache middleware.

Yes, I’m still rewriting an existing ASP.NET Web API application to ASP.NET Core.

I ported an existing action method where I was using response caching. I previously ported other action methods that used caching but this one was a little bit different because I had to take the querystring values into account for the caching.

This is easily arranged by specifying the name of the query string parameter using the VaryByQueryKeys property on the ResponseCache attribute.

Small tip: If you want to take all query string parameters into account, you can use “*” as a single value.

When I tried to call this method I got a 500 error. Inside the logs I noticed the following error message:

InvalidOperationException: 'VaryByQueryKeys' requires the response cache middleware.

Although caching seemed to work for other scenario’s, when I used the VaryByQueryKeys property I had to add the response caching middleware.

Here is my Startup.ConfigureServices():

And my Startup.Configure()

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…
