ASP.NET MVC: How to automatically disable [RequireHttps] on localhost?

by

The easiest thing would be to derive a new attribute from RequireHttps and override HandleNonHttpsRequest

protected override void HandleNonHttpsRequest(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
        {
            if (!filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.Host.Contains("localhost"))
            {
                base.HandleNonHttpsRequest(filterContext);
            }
        }

HandleNonHttpsRequest is the method that throws the exception, here all we’re doing is not calling it if the host is localhost (and as Jeff says in his comment you could extend this to test environments or in fact any other exceptions you want).
