Does the ASP.NET Development Server (a.k.a. Cassini) support SSL?

Question

We are trying to get our .NET devs to use the ASP.NET Development Server (VS2008) for web development instead of a local instance of IIS.

Answer 1

Actually there is a possible approach- if you just want to run ASP.NET programs with SSL, you can use Cassini + Apache Http Proxy/Nginx for Windows. But if you are on Windows XP beware there might have limitations on concurrent connections.

Answer 2

The web server built into VS doesn't not support SSL. It is meant to be a quick way to test an application. For SSL, you would need to use IIS and get a certificate.
