Error 101 (net :: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): the connection was reset. for SS

Question

I have a website that was developed using ASP.NET MVC and hosted in IIS with source code and working correctly.

Today I hosted the website in a production environment in a different location on the same server and configured IIS. While accessing the HTTPS page, I encountered a problem below.

"Error 101 (net :: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): the connection was reset. For SSL"

Do I need to configure IIS anything special to solve this problem?

Thanks Velusamy

Answer 1

This could be a maxRequest.net problem. Try adding the following to the appSettings your web.config .

<add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="9999" />

This may be due to your ISP. I wrote a quick blog about him -

This happened to me when I was messing around with other settings in IIS. Somehow, in my HTTPS bindings, the self-signed security certificate was deleted for the site (when editing the binding, the SSL certificate was "not specified".

All I did was re-select the correct certificate and fix the problem. I would check that this did not happen to you in the first place.
