Trying the ASP.NET session state provider for Redis

After the news about the support for Redis on Windows Azure, Microsoft also announced a preview release of an ASP.NET session state provider for Redis.

I am using the ServiceStack.Redis client for a long time, but I wanted to give it a shot and switched to the Microsoft.Web.RedisSessionStateProvider. However when I tried to use it, ASP.NET returned a yellow screen of death and showed the following error message:

“Could not load file or assembly ‘StackExchange.Redis, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c219ff1ca8c2ce46’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.”

The RedisSessionStateProvider is using the StackExchange.Redis client behind the scenes. As I installed it through NuGet, a newer version of the assembly was installed than expected. I fixed it by removing both NuGet Packages and first installing an older version of the StackExchange.Redis client.

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…
