You should be getting a certificate error, because the https address name needs to match the name on the certificate.
Check your bindings to see if you have an asterisk in the IP Address.

When I try and access localhost on 443 port, I get ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.
I have windows machine with windows edition as Windows Server 2019 Datacenter. My application is hosted on IIS and it has self-signed SSL certificate. I am able to access my application over web using hostname, however when I try to access application with the localhost 443 port am getting connection "The site can't be reached".
I have added firewall rule to open port 443 for the application. I can even Telnet to localhost using port 443 successfully. I have tried running Chrome with Administrator privilege's, still the same issue. I have edited my hosts file in windows\system32\drivers\etc.
127.0.0.1 localhost
#::1 localhost
I am very unsure what to do next to resolve this issue. Any suggestion would be awesome.
