Microsoft is using Kestrel in Production for the new ASP.NET website

I could not help but noticed asp.net is now redirecting to a new website which is a sub-domain of Microsoft.com, so I got interested to check how many redirects actually happens when I type asp.net in browser. This is what I found out.

So as its shown in the image below there are 3 redirects post which the new website opens up.







  1. http://asp.net
  2. https://asp.net
  3. https://www.asp.net

All of these are 301/Moved Permanently.

Another interesting thing I noticed is the server used is not IIS which was used before. Its Kestrel this time. Its the same server which David Folwer (who is also an awesome speaker) and Damian Edwards (used to pairs up nicely with Scott Hanselman on standup) mentioned a lot of time during ASP.NET community stand up.

The server is developed by the Asp.net team for .net core I believe and the new website runs on same.
