VSTS - WIKI

A long listed request finally arrived into VSTS, the introduction of a built-in Wiki. Before you had to fallback to the Wiki extension in the marketplace.  It’s still in preview but offers enough features to start playing with it. Open up your VSTS account and you’ll find the following new menu item:

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.
