IIS - https:// works while http://host:443 doesn't

Question

This is my site:

http://scyk.pl

When you go

https://scyk.pl

Everything is ok, but when you go

http://scyk.pl:443

Connection is timing out. I am running IIS7, today I configured ssl, and I don't know why :443 version is not working. Any help?

You need to go to https://scyk.pl:443 with https. https is different than http Not sure if this is spam. — Edwin, Mar 15 '13 at 14:09
Well, more importantly, why do you want the port explicitly in the url? — HopelessN00b, Mar 15 '13 at 14:10
But I want it to be like HTTP://scyk.pl:443 and behave like it was HTTPS — ojek, Mar 15 '13 at 14:10
@HopelessN00b: I have asp mvc app running, and for some reason it is trying to use http://scyk.pl:443 as ssl version. — ojek, Mar 15 '13 at 14:11

The third URL you're using is just plain wrong; it tells to your web browser to access scyk.pl on port 443 using the HTTP protocol, but since the website listening on that port is actually using the HTTPS protocol, the connection fails. This is exactly the expected behaviour.

And is there anything I can do about it? I mean, when server sees http://scyk.pl:443, it redirects it to https:// ? Is this possible? – ojek Mar 15 '13 at 14:12

The "http" or "https" part in the URL will force your web browser to use one protocol or the other; there's nothing the *web server* can do if the client is using the wrong protocol to access a web site. – Massimo Mar 15 '13 at 14:13
