Kestrel: Invoke-WebRequest doesn't work while the URL works in browser?

Question

Update:

The following error only occur when launching the application using Kestrel.

I already added the following two lines for Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Negotiate

// in public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
services.AddAuthentication(NegotiateDefaults.AuthenticationScheme).AddNegotiate();

// in public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
app.UseAuthentication();

I created a new test Asp.Net core Web API project (with Windows authentication) using Visual Studio 2019. And run it in Visual studio and a browser popped up with json returns shown.

Then I open a Powershell window and tested the url. It got the following error?

PS C:\> Invoke-WebRequest https://localhost:5001/weatherforecast
Invoke-WebRequest : The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.
At line:1 char:1
+ Invoke-WebRequest https://localhost:5001/weatherforecast

   eption
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand

I found the ASP.NET Core HTTPS development certificate.

PS C:\> ls Cert:\CurrentUser\My | ? Subject -eq 'CN=localhost' | fl

Subject      : CN=localhost
Issuer       : CN=localhost
Thumbprint   : 7A16573FF2DBA47695B8CA15916D445C9361F255

Extensions   : {System.Security.Cryptography.Oid, System.Security.Cryptography.Oid, System.Security.Cryptography.Oid,
               System.Security.Cryptography.Oid...}

And it still got the error?

PS C:\> Invoke-WebRequest https://localhost:5001/weatherforecast -CertificateThumbprint 7A16573FF2DBA47695B8CA15916D445C -UseDefaultCredentials

can you try `Invoke-RestMethod https://localhost:5001/weatherforecast -CertificateThumbprint 7A16573FF2DBA47695B8CA15916D445C9361F255 ` ? — Kundan, Jan 31 '20 at 20:06
I've updated the question for IP address. The errors are different — ca9163d9, Jan 31 '20 at 20:39
how is your application hosted? IISExpress, WebAppName hosted , IIS or something else? — Kundan, Jan 31 '20 at 20:53

This one worked for me. I am able to read it from the web api. Give it try with Invoke-RestMethod with -Certificate $cert as parameter.

$cert = Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\CurrentUser\My\4E1E5F6B5BAD49B13521C2DF12275C37E126DBB9
$response = Invoke-RestMethod https://localhost:5001/weatherforecast -Certificate $cert
Write-Host $response.Count

I still get the same error by using `-certificate`. I just run the newly created project in Visual Studio. – ca9163d9 Jan 31 '20 at 21:22

Now `Invoke-RestMethod https://localhost:44334/weatherforecast -Certificate $cert -UseDefaultCredentials` works after I change the visual studio using IIS Express.(Kestrel got the error) – ca9163d9 Jan 31 '20 at 21:25
