There is a way to remove http to https redirection on azure webapp?

Question

The question is very simple. I want to allow http on my azure webapp, but by default it redirects http to https even if "https only" is off. There is a way to keep http protocol at azure webaps? All the information I find on google is the opposite of what I want.

Answer 1

You have two options here, the one I prefer is applying a certificate to your app. That's free using azure app service. You can learn more on this arcticle :

The second one is applying a redirect rule within you web.config, redirecting any https to http.

<rule name="Redirect to HTTP" stopProcessing="true">
  <match url="(.*)" />
  <conditions>
    <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^ON$" />
  </conditions>
  <action type="Redirect" url="http://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
