How to Change Your Visual Studio Web Application From SSL Enabled to SSL Disabled

You can easily change your visual Studio web application to use SSL through Project Properties window.

After that, your project's web properties will be changed to use the https link:


So by default, your project will be launched with SSL protocol on your local machine.

However, if you want to change back not to use SSL in your local, you may experience following issue after you change project properties window from SSL Enabled True to SSL Enabled False:

It said, "You can't remove SSL from this site because this Web project is currently configured to browse with this URL. You need to use the Web property page to change the project URL to the non-secure URL first."

It happened because your project's web properties still has https link. You need to change it to use http link and then you can change from SSL Enabled True to SSL Enabled False. 

But how to make it?

When you launch web application through Visual Studio, the IIS Express will be launched as well. Under your twindows task bar, there is IIS Express Icon.

Right click on the Icon, and you will see 2 http links with one https and one http. Copy that http link to your Project's Web Properties configuration for "Project Url link". Then you can change from SSL Enabled True to SSL Enabled False.
