Connection refused - ASP.NET core 7.0 web api call

See more:

ASP.NET-Core

Hi All,

I am new to asp.net core 7.0.

I am working on the web api. However I created one controller with [ApiController] decoration. In the launchSettings.json file it shows port number as below :-

"iisSettings": {
  "windowsAuthentication": false,
  "anonymousAuthentication": true,
  "iisExpress": {
    "applicationUrl": "http://localhost:14023",
    "sslPort": 44381
  }

Means that my Web API will be pointing to http://localhost:14023[^]

However when I run the application and navigate to http://localhost:14023[^]
it shows below error :

Quote:

This site can’t be reached
localhost refused to connect.

Quote:

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

And when I hit the same API URL through Postman then below error coming :-

Quote:

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:

Quote:

14023

Can anyone please help on this.

Initially I thought that it could be related to CORS so I added below code in Program.cs file :-

builder.Services.AddCors();

app.UseCors(options =>
options.AllowAnyOrigin()
.AllowAnyMethod()
.AllowAnyHeader()
);

I am stuck on this.

What I have tried:

I tried adding the CORS in Program.cs class as below :-

<pre>
builder.Services.AddCors();

app.UseCors(options =>
options.AllowAnyOrigin()
.AllowAnyMethod()
.AllowAnyHeader()
);
