Can't open https://graph.facebook.com/ - c#

Whatever I have tried I cannot navigate to "https://graph.facebook.com/..." neither from the web-browser, or from web-client.
Every time I try to debug, I receive an error related to the certificate on targeting domain!
I even tried:
http://dotnetslackers.com/articles/net/wFace-windows-phone-7-facebook-integration-part-1.aspx
and it doesn't work on my VS2010 debugger anymore.
But did worked before for a few weeks both with emulator and WP7 device.
At the same time, url's like "http://graph.facebook.com/..." are working without any problem.
Did someone experience this similar problem?
Or somebody with good idea to solve this particular problem?!

Check the list of supported SSL Certificates.

HttpListener "Connection Closed" in Browser when using SSL

We have some custom http webservice build on HttpListener in .net 4.8.
This thing works fine on different customer systems, however on one of our new customers system, we have trouble getting SSL to work.
The problem is, that accessing a simple echo page (that just dumps the request into the output), modern browsers like firefox, chrome and edge get a connection reset, once the listener starts writing into the output stream.
Internet Explorer and WebRequests work without any issues.
Im pulling my hair out, all I could find is recommendations to reinstall IIS since this seems to be a known problem in old ASP.net Solutions. However we do not use IIS.
The next problem is, the customers IT is really restrictive and does not allow us to install tools like WireShark or Fiddler.
I dont know if there is any other possible combination of netsh commands to add the ssslcert, im certain by now that i treid everything.
We even used one of our own certificates, but no success.
EDIT It seems to be related to the fact, that the customer is using a Windows Server 2022.
Turns out this is a known problem in Server 2022

Disabling TLS 1.3 via registry did the trick for us, as a workaround.

Xamarin Forms - How to use HttpListener with HTTPS in 2022?

I have been working on this for a day or so and have come across quite a few posts and snippets which shed some light on how to run an HTTPS server using HTTPListener in Xamarin Forms, but everything I have come across is very outdated, or targets the wrong platform, (in most cases, Windows). I am targeting Android only at the moment, though would like to do the logic for the server in the shared code, as I will eventually deploy the app to iOS as well.
My main problem has been tracking down a comprehensive guide, or even a list of the steps required. For example, on the HTTPLIstener documentation page (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.httplistener?view=net-6.0) the text mentions needing to select a Server Certificate for the listener, or it will fail. It then goes on to describe configuring the Server Certificate using Windows-specific tools which do not have an implementation in Xamarin.
I have encountered another post which mentions putting the certificate and private key in question into a specific folder, named after the port number the listener inhabits, i.e. 55555.cer and 55555.pvk. I have tried this, using a self-signed certificate generated using the BouncyCastle library, and it will not work. The HTTP version of the server works perfectly, but the HTTPS side generates an error like:
SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
This is the same error I was receiving before doing anything other than adding an HTTPS prefix to the listener, so it indicates to me that nothing has changed or been affected by placing the certificate in the correct location.
Finally, I have encountered information which leads me to believe that I need to also add the self-signed certificate to the Android Trusted Certificate store, before I will be able to use it in my application. I'm about to start implementing that, but wanted to check here to see if anyone has any insight to offer that will help me along the way.
So my question is: What are the actual steps required to make HTTPListener with HTTPS support on Xamarin Forms Android work?
It's seemingly been done in the past, so presumably it will still be possible today. I'd really like to use HTTPListener versus a lower level connection API due to the convenience offered.

Windows Service Start Failure for self hosted SignalR

Really trying to figure out how to install a SignalR Self Host windows service. It's my first attempt with a windows service and it's driving me bonkers. After many failed attempts, I really could do with some help. I'm using cmd in a windows server 2012 environment.
The error in a traditional win popup:
Cannot start service from the command line or debugger. A windows
Service must first be installed(using installutil.exe) and then
started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool
or the NET START command.
I know this has been raised a few times on SO but no other posts seems to help.
My command to install:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 InstallUtil.exe
C:\SignalRService\bin\Debug\RW.WinServ.exe
This is not installing what so ever and I originally thought, it must of installed so I'll go an start the service but no service found.
I have two versions of the windows service I'm trying to install/start my own version and an example taken from Microsoft, neither work.

I hope enough information has been supplied to help me diagnose the problem. If any code is required then please give me a shout. But again even with the source code from the above link, I cannot get this to work. So I'm leaning towards my environment not being properly configured.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Although this is not a direct answer too the problem I was facing, I do believe it may help many in the future: https://damienbod.wordpress.com/2014/06/03/signalr-self-hosting-template-for-a-windows-service/
It solved my issue by me vigorously going through the link.
The link above is absolutely outstanding and gives great insight into Windows Services.

DNS error when trying to connect to Windows Azure Service Bus

The remote name could not be resolved:
'x.servicebus.windows.net'.TrackingId:bbfe86f8-b5d3
Doing an nslookup works fine.
I can hit the url from the browser with no issues.
Usually rebooting resolves the issue. It seems to be the consistent thing, but sometimes even this doesn't work. Sometimes simply waiting until later fixes the issue.
I've tried closing IIS express, resetting my ip, closing visual studio, etc., but nothing immediately resolves it, other than rebooting, but like I said this doesn't always work, so not sure it's even related.
I've tried disabling my firewall. I uninstalled norton anti-virus, but no luck. I've also disabled Windows Defender.
This only seems to be happen on my Windows 8.1 machine. Even when I'm
experiencing the error, I can run the same code from my Windows 7
machine with no problems. I don't use my Windows 7 machine enough
though to know if it is really a Windows 8 specific issue.
Microsoft mentions possibly using Shared Access Signatures as an alternative for connecting to the service bus, but I'm not looking to rewrite my code over what appears to be a possible bug in Microsoft's SDK. Does anyone know how to diagnose this? I am wondering if there are trace logs that can be setup in web.config specifically for the servicebus perhaps that might give me some additional error information. Or if someone else has run into this and can provide some insight.
This does not seem anything specific to the Service Bus APIs, you can get more information on the IP configuration and reset it on you Windows 8.1 box as follows:
Open an administrator command prompt and type the following:
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset
Check if any errors are listed? If not, go ahead and reboot the computer.
This ended up being a server issue on Microsoft's end which is why it was impossible to resolve through code and machine changes. It took awhile for them to get it figured out and resolved. If anyone has a similar issue they may want want to consider this possibility as well and get in touch with Microsoft.

visual studio development server automatically redirects to default port with machine ip

This is a weird issue I have been facing for a couple of days now. When I run my ASP.Net web app from visual studio 2010, it starts the dev server and opens IE. I can see the correct URL getting formed (ex: http://localhost:53990/index.aspx).
But then it redirects to "http://my-machine-ip". I can see the dev server process (webdev) in task manager. If I browse the above URL in a separate IE instance, manually, I still get the same behavior.
This problem comes in chrome as well, but works properly in Firefox.
Since it was working in FF, I ignored it, but now an increasing number of my colleagues have started facing the exact same issue. Tried searching for a solution on Google and stackoverflow, but couldn't find any.
Has anyone else faced a similar issue? Would be great if I can get any help/pointers with this issue. Please let me know if you need more details.
PS: I am coding in c#, not sure if it matters but thought I should specify it.
I have faced this issue and resolved by following steps:->
Open IE
Go to Internet Option ->Connections
Click on Lan Settings
Uncheck Automatic detect settings check box.
Clear all browser cache/history
Try and browse the site now. You should be able to view your site
Since Chrome uses IE settings, this solution should work for Chrome too.
