Answer 1

HttpPlatformHandler module doesn't work for me. I found this post by Sutean Rutjanalard on Medium very helpful, which use ASP.NET Core Module instead.

Basically, you need to create Application pool with "No Managed Code" as you do with a .net core app. And the following is the web.config.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <handlers>
            <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified" />
        </handlers>
        <aspNetCore processPath=".\YourGoApp.exe" />
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Your local IIS does not work simply because you need to install a separate component, called HttpPlatformHandler module,

Reverse proxy or FastCGI were the older approaches which are no longer necessary with this new approach.
