Is it possible to use SSL with Visual Studio Development Server (a.k.a. Web Application project)? I don't want to have to deploy IIS locally if possible. I'm running Windows 7.

NOTE: I've seen this (http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/354576/add-https-support-to-visual-studio-asp-net-development-server) but I was still hoping there was a workaround.

Hi, this subject was covered here and it say's, you actually can't.

But you might take a look at this link, which might prove the contrary: (See link in comment, i'm not yet able to post more then 1 link per post ...doh)

Hope this helps.

It cannot be done with VS 2008, so I've simply resorted to deploying my app to the local IIS as part of the start process with a generated cert.
