Power Shell or .Net library to check if HTTPS is setup for a domain

Question

I am building ASP.NET core MVC web application which allow users to enter a domain name and click submit >> then the application should check if HTTPS is setup for a domain >> update the backend accordingly. So my question is; If there is there a .NET core library which allow us to check if HTTPS is setup for a domain? Or can we use Power shell and get the results of it inside our ASP.NET core web application?

Thanks

Hello Johnjohn,

Yes, you can run Powershell from ASP.NET code, for your confort.

For example:

using System.Management.Automation;
using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces;
using Microsoft.PowerShell;

var initialSessionState = InitialSessionState.CreateDefault();
initialSessionState.ExecutionPolicy = ExecutionPolicy.Unrestricted;
using (PowerShell powerShell = PowerShell.Create(initialSessionState))
{
powerShell.AddCommand("whoami");
foreach (var item in powerShell.Invoke())
{
Console.WriteLine(item.BaseObject.ToString());
}
if (powerShell.HadErrors)
{
throw new Exception("powershell script had errors");
}
}
