I created an API .NET CORE project and it runs fine as my startup project, and has assigned 5001 as the port e.g. one of the calls is:
https://localhost:5001/api/Values/TESTME
I added a site cors policy in startup like so:
services.AddCors(options =>
{
options.AddPolicy("SiteCors", builder =>
{
builder.AllowAnyHeader();
builder.AllowAnyMethod();
builder.AllowAnyOrigin();
});
});
Now I added another project (which runs on a different local host port) and set it as the startup project - it tries to do a WebRequest:
string url = "https://localhost:5001/api/Values/TESTME";
try
{
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
response.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
which is rejected because No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
I think adding a Firewall rule may be in order but 1) how exactly do I add a firewall rule for this? and 2) would this even work? Would I need both projects to be "running" in VS at the same time?
CodePudding user response:
Make sure you run both in separate instances on separate ports & it should be fine (if you haven't explicitly blocked anything in your firewall).
You could also run one API in IIS Server or self-hosted & the other running in Visual Studio.
