Owin self host console application with https support (no web api, no SignalR)
With SslStream and socket, I've developed a https web server from scratch.
I can apply a certificate to the stream from C# code and deal with the requests.
However, I didn't figure out how to do this with Owin.
Does any one know how to bind a certificate to a self hosted console application?
Example:
// Bind the below certificate to Owin host
var certificate = new X509Certificate2("server.pfx", "password");
Please refer to the existing Owin host code below for details:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Owin.Hosting;
using AppFunc = System.Func<System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<string, object>, System.Threading.Tasks.Task>;
namespace Owin.Startup
class Program
static void Main(string args)
int port = 8888;
string url = $"http://localhost:port";
using (WebApp.Start<Startup>(url))
Console.WriteLine($"Hosted: url");
Console.ReadLine();
public class Startup
private IAppBuilder app;
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
#if DEBUG
app.UseErrorPage();
#endif
app.Use(new Func<AppFunc, AppFunc>(next => (async env =>
Console.WriteLine("Begin Request");
foreach (var i in env.Keys)
Console.WriteLine($"it=(env[i] == null ? "null" : env[i].ToString())t#t(env[i] == null ? "null" : env[i].GetType().FullName)");
if (next != null)
await next.Invoke(env);
else
Console.WriteLine("Process Complete");
Console.WriteLine("End Request");
)));
app.UseWelcomePage("/");
this.app = app;

It depends on the server. Here's how to do it with HttpListener: http://katanaproject.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Selfhosting&referringTitle=Documentation
Owin self hosting applications just need to bind to the proper URLs in code, while the certificate mappings should be done separately via Windows HTTP API.
netsh http show sslcert
can show you the existing mappings, and Jexus Manager provides the UI.
netsh http show sslcert

I tried this but got the connection reset issue. Can you help to check the code at the following url? Thanks. stackoverflow.com/questions/33820731/…
