Question

Can any one suggest with example how to selfhost core web API without IIS. I have hosted in the IIS but i want to perfome self hosting and also i want to enable HTTPS for the selfhost web API

Answer 1

To Self host web api you should refer to official documentation
To enable https
On an elevated console (“Run as administrator”), execute
netsh http add urlacl url=https://+:4443/ user=<your user name>
to allow the running user to listen on port 4443 using HTTPS (note the use of https instead of http in the above command).
Also on an elevated console, register the server certificate by running
netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:port certhash=thumbprint appid={
app-guid
}
where,
port is the listening port (e.g. 4443); the special IP address 0.0.0.0 matches any IP address for the local machine;
thumbprint is the certificate’s SHA-1 hash, represented in hexadecimal;
app-guid is any GUID (e.g. {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}) , used to identity the owning application.
Write self host configuration like
class MyHttpsSelfHostConfiguration : HttpSelfHostConfiguration
{
public MyHttpsSelfHostConfiguration(string baseAddress): base(baseAddress){}
public MyHttpsSelfHostConfiguration(Uri baseAddress) : base(baseAddress){}
protected override BindingParameterCollection OnConfigureBinding(HttpBinding httpBinding)
{
httpBinding.Security.Mode = HttpBindingSecurityMode.Transport;
return base.OnConfigureBinding(httpBinding);
}
}
then Change the base address passed to the MyHttpsSelfHostConfiguration constructor: var config = new MyHttpsSelfHostConfiguration(“https://localhost:4443”);
