Publishing is trying to connect using https and not http.
First, thank you for your time.
I have created a LightSwitch application which basically means it's just a silverlight asp.net application. Within IIS I have created a very vanilla, nothing special, website on port 85. It is not configured with 1) a virtual directory, 2) an application, 3) a certificate, 4) any ssl security settings. During the publish wizard steps I have said No to the Secure Connections question. I believe this to mean use http and not https.
However, when I publish to my localhost website, the output says it cannot connect to website: https://localhost:85. I agree! It shouldn't be able to connect using a secure connection on port 85. But I didn't tell it to use a secure connection.
Why is it trying to connect using https and not http?
What should I check. I am clearly missing something.
Again, thank you for your time.

Thank you for responding.
Here are the screen shots of the Publishing Wizard. As you can see I am specifying that https is not required and no certificate. The other screen shot is of the output window and there you can see that it is trying to connect using https.
I am pulling my hair out over this. I need big help.
Thank you.
p.s.
Not that it makes any difference, but I made a slight typo in the original question. I initially said I was using port 85 when actually I am using port 83. oops.

It may be down to the settings for the web app rather than the publishing option. In Visual Studio, from Project menu, select "<your application> Properties...". In the properties window that opens go to the "Web" tab then check the "Start Action" and "Servers" sections to see if either of them reference a HTTPS url.

Thank you for your time Carl.
I was hoping there would be, but unfortunately, I could not find any references to https.
Any other suggestions?

Open up the .csproj file in notepad and look for the deployment related section (should be called something like <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuratio

I have already done that. When I initially googled this problem I found this link:

This post outlines how to reset all the publishing settings in the PropertyGroup section. I did that and still to no avail!

Look for this setting in your web.config and change it to false

Sammy's advice was good too, but it was Carl's solution that did the trick. Thank you to both of you for helping me.
Also, check the publish output step and look for the Server URL value and make sure it doesn't have https://
