I need to test an ASP.NET site that requires SSL locally. I think IIS7 with the self-signing certs would do the trick, however, I am on XP.
Any idea how I could test the site locally over https?
The IIS Resource Kit will help you with this in XP. use the SelfSSL utility to create a self signed cert. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=56fc92ee-a71a-4c73-b628-ade629c89499&DisplayLang=en
You can use SelfSSL or OpenSSL to create a self-signed certificate. Here are instructions on how to do this.

How can i host asp.net website in linux server..
I am hosting asp.net website in linux server but it gives code error. You can see the screen short to better understand.
.
Although to avoid huge problems and configuration issues Windows server is used all over the world to host ASP.NET apps.
How ever you can explore Mono Project to use Linux to host ASP.NET Webapps.
Hope this helps.
You can host site in only two ways:
You use ASP.NET with Mono.
You use ASP.NET Core.
The second way is the most preferred but each of them are unstable and don't suitable for production. Use ASP.NET only with Windows Server with IIS.
I Have a VPS hosting on which I've installed Ubuntu 13.04.
I'm willing to host an ASP.NET app on it.
Is it possible to install a virual machine and set up a Windows envirement for hosting C# app ?
I'm trying to avoid mono plateform.
Better go for VPS with Windows platform. If you want to host asp.net application then opting for VPS with Windows platform is the ideal choice.
Almost all VPS providers won't let you add another level of visualization, I ended by picking up a VPS that runs on Windows platform.
I want to install a temporary certificate for my WCF service which installed in an IIS 7 server. How do I do that? is there any tutorial?
You can use a self-signed certificate, see scottgu's blog post for help.
Is there anyway to configure IIS Express to support extension-less URLS?
Our production and development servers are running a website (webforms) app on IIS 6 and setup to process every request through isapi.dll. However, our local development machines are using IIS Express setup in Classic pipeline mode.
Currently if I am to request a resource from our dev or prod servers that doesn't have an extension, such as /about/ it processes fine, but if I were to request /about/ on our local development servers using IIS express I receive a 404.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance
check the site app pool in development server applicationhost.config file and make sure that .Net framework version is set to 4.0.
Is there a way to access Visual Studio's built-in ASP.NET Development Server over HTTPS?
As of now we can use IIS Express to develop and test in SSL. Here is a complete article explaning how to use IIS Express and Visual Studion 2010 to develop websites in SSL.

Working with SSL at Development Time is easier with IISExpress
Introducing IIS Express
Cassini does not support HTTPS.
However, you can use IIS to do this, if your using IIS 5.1, download the MS IIS toolpack for IIS 6.0, it comes with a tool to create self signed SSL certificates. This works on IIS 5.1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=56fc92ee-a71a-4c73-b628-ade629c89499&DisplayLang=en
The one tool you need (SelfSSL.exe) works just fine with IIS 5.1. Unfortunately, it comes bundled with a bunch of other stuff.
Steps:
Install the IIS Tools File. If you want, you can click Custom and tell it to only install SelfSSL.
Activate the site in IIS that you want to install a SSL certificate too.
Go to Start / Programs / IIS Resources / SelfSSL
This will launch a command prompt in the SelfSSL directory.
Using the provided help, run SelfSSL. The command I used was: selfssl.exe /N:cn=[MACHINENAME] /K:1024 /V:90
/S:5 /P:443
The /S switch indicates which site to install the certificate. You can figure out the number by looking at your sites in IIS and counting (Starting at 1 for the first site, not 0), to the site you want.
Once this has ran, browse to your localhost over HTTPS
You should receive an error message stating that this certificate is from a untrusted source. You can either add your machinename to the browsers “Trusted Authorities” list, or you can tell the browser to ignore this.
At this point, you will be able to run your localhost over HTTPS.
Wilco Bauwer wrote a webdev server that will support https. He is one of the developers that worked on cassini visual studio 2005 built in web server. WebDev.WebServer2
Select the project-file in the Solution Explorer: for example: "WebApplication1".
With pressing ALT+ENTER you enter the project-properties.
Select "DEBUG" on the left side.
Here you can select "Enable SSL".
Then you can start your project with IIS Express normally and it will start using SSL, the new Port will be 44301
