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…
