My ASP.NET Core MVC web application does not work on http

Question

I am developing an ASP.NET Core and when the run it in Visual Studio, it opens this url:

https://localhost:44392/

Now if I try to open this url http://localhost:44392/, I will get this error:

This site can't be reached
The connection was reset.

I try to comment out this line of code

app.UseHttpsRedirection();

in the startup.cs file, but that did not solve the issue.

Any advice?

EDIT

The launchsettings.json is as follow:-

{
  "iisSettings": {
    "windowsAuthentication": false,
    "anonymousAuthentication": true,
    "iisExpress": {
      "applicationUrl": "http://localhost:59662",
      "sslPort": 44392
    }
  },
  "profiles": {
    "IIS Express": {
      "commandName": "IISExpress",
      "launchBrowser": true,
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
      }
    },
    "***: {
      "commandName": "Project",
      "launchBrowser": true,
      "applicationUrl": "https://localhost:5001;http://localhost:5000",
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
      }
    }
  }
}

Not clear what is the question. The site runs on port 44392 on HTTPS. Obviously, you can't access this port of HTTP. Do you want to access over http for some reason? If yes, then look in Properties\launchSettings.json. you will see something like this:

 "iisSettings": {
    "windowsAuthentication": false,
    "anonymousAuthentication": true,
    "iisExpress": {
      "applicationUrl": "http://localhost:5151/",
      "sslPort": 44392
    }
  }

In this case you can access your site over http://localhost:5151/, but depending on the UseHttpsRedirection() it may redirect to HTTPS anyway.

If that's not what you are asking - please elaborate

UPDATE: So, with launchsetting.json the way you have it - does this answer your question? you should be able to access your site http://localhost:59662 assuming you run through IIS

It says "sslPort": 44392 not 59662.

you are supposed to set it when you setup the app by unchecking the "configure for HTTPS" box see here

another option is to connect to HTTPS and trust the VS localhost certificate as written Here.
