Visual Studio 2022 17.6–Http Endpoint explorer

I occasionally switch to Jetbrains Rider and Visual Studio Code, but my favorite IDE is and remains Visual Studio(especially with the Github Copilot integration).  With the 17.6 release a new feature was introduced; the Endpoints explorer.

With the Endpoints explorer, you can view and interact with the API endpoints defined in your solution. To use this feature go to View –> Other Windows –> Endpoint Explorer:

You get an overview of all the API endpoints available in your solution and the available API calls that can be made:

If you right click on an API call, you can choose between Open in the editor to jump to the implementation of the API call or Create Request.

This will create a new HTTP file that can be used to execute the specific request on the endpoint:

Nice!

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

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…
