.NET HttpListener: when registering both HTTP & HTTPS I get "conflicts with an existing registration
- by Greg
I'm trying to use .NET HttpListener in a C# project. When I register my prefix "http://*:8080/" it does not seem to work for HTTPS urls (i.e. doesn't pick them up). When I try the following code to register both the HTTP and HTTPS versions of the prefix however I get the error:
"Failed to listen on prefix 'https://:8080/' because it conflicts with an existing registration on the machine."*
How can I get my prefix working for both HTTP & HTTPS?
private HttpListener _listener;
// Create prefixes
var prefixes = new List<string>();
prefixes.Add("http://*:8080/");
prefixes.Add("https://*:8080/");
// Create HttpListener
_listener = new HttpListener();
foreach (string prefix in prefixes)
{
_listener.Prefixes.Add(prefix);
}
_listener.Start(); // <== ERROR HERE
thanks
