Web API and https timeout
Folks, I've put a Web API project (created by the VS2015 Framework 4.5 wizard) on my server. I've got two applications pointing to the folder with the app files, one site is http scheme and the other site has a certificate for https. The app responds and works okay with http, but it times out for https. http://www.gregsite.com.au/myapp/v3/blah?p=glop (works) https://www.gregsite.net.au/myapp/v3/blah?p=glop (times out) I'm quite disappointed, and I can't find any special config settings or other tricks and web searches don't help as usual so far. Anyone got a clue? *Greg K*
Re: Web API and https timeout
Does the https one work on its own (http one removed or disabled)?

I'm really surprised because REST style services and projects are relatively simple compared to WCF services where I've previously had to tweak the config file for https or http (which took hours of research!). I expected it to just GO! -- *GK* I'd just start with the https one alone and get that working just to ensure it has nothing to do with the sharing of files. If it doesn't work alone then https isn't configured correctly. Sorry not clear if you've already tried this. Also I think there is a enableSSL or similar somewhere in the project properties in case you've missed it.
Re: Web API and https timeout
OK FOLKS! Those of you who are sys admins don't laugh at what I just found, by accidentally noticing that all of my web sites where slowly vanishing throughout the afternoon... Around 11am this morning I finished migrating 6 of my domains from one provider to another. I set the DNS A records for all domains to point to my home server's IP address. However, I transposed two digits of the address and as a result, all domains slowly vanished as the records were propagated around the globe. That's certainly why my https test failed, then an hour later the http test failed (as the domain vanished). At 17:30 all my domains were invisible, so I just put the correct IP back in all of them. Now I wait and maybe later tonight I'll find that my REST API is working as I originally expected. Amazing eh?! -- *Greg K* On 7 August 2015 at 17:35, Bec C bec.usern...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, Aug 7, 2015 at 5:19 PM, Greg Keogh gfke...@gmail.com wrote: Does the https one work on its own (http one removed or disabled)?

[OT] Preparing Windows 10
This is a Friday thing, but for your possible amusement ... I installed Windows 10 retail (inside Parallels on a Mac) and I'm trying to use it in anger for the first time. The first things I did were to disable Windows Defender, uninstall Flash, unpin or uninstall weather, news, email, contacts, store, photos, music, pictures (and others I forget). So after using group policy editor, regedit, elevated command lines, etc I finally stripped Windows 10 back to a typical development machine. Weirdly enough, by the time I cleaned up the Start Menu of junk it was empty ... there are no coloured tiles on my Start fly-out as they were all utterly useless. What a shame, as I suppose whole departments of people went into designing and implementing it -- *Greg*
