Error when using WebDeploy with ASP.NET Core

Last week I got into trouble when trying to use msdeploy for an ASP.NET Core app. Where I got no problems for the ‘old’ ASP.NET applications, every time I tried to deploy an ASP.NET Core app I got the following error message:

ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED

I logged in on the target server and find a little bit more information in the Event Viewer:

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 .
