APS pre-test in VP 2026 installation

[ntallen]

While upgrading from VPS2025.3 to VPS2026.1, I encountered the following error in the ASP.net pre-test:

Accessing an http static file failed at URL http://localhost:443/TestASP/TestASPNetStatic.txt

I had configured VPS2025.3 to use https, which is presumably where the ':443' in this test came from, and I opted to use the current IIS configuration for the upgrade.

I believe this is a bug in the pre-test. It seems obvious that you will fail trying to use HTTP on port 443.

My work-around was to revert VPS2025.3 to use http (through the networking dialog) and rerun the VPS2026.1 install, then re-enable https. Things seem to be working fine so far.

Yes, we are aware this is an issue with the pre-test. Hopefully, we can fix this in a future release.
