ImageSharp–Image.Load() Compiler error after updating

On one of my pet projects I’m using ImageSharp to manipulate images. It is a great library that comes with a lot of features in it. And performance and memory usage is good which is quite important when manipulating images. 

Remark: Be aware that a commercial license is needed in some conditions. So check out the pricing page before adding this library to your application.

I decided to add some new stuff but before I did that I updated the library to the latest version. However after doing that my original code no longer compiled. Let’s see how we can fix this…

Here is the original code:

This specific overload no longer exists in the latest version. So I started to update my code to a supported overload:

Remark: Notice that I also switched to an async overload but know that a synchronous version exists as well.

However by doing that I no longer had the format information available. The good news is that this information could now be accessed through the image.Metadata property:

The compiler was happy again and I as well as I  could continue coding.

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…
