Description

In https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/52642 as part of https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/42852 we are bringing kestrel version of the obsolete CoreFxNetCloudService echo test server.

The proposed implementation is missing:

  • Any deployment logic to be able to host it in Azure
  • Any test certificates, which the unit tests may expect
  • ClientCertificate capturing in NetCoreServer\Helpers\RequestInformation.cs and necessary setup of kestrel to receive it.
  • delete the obsolete CoreFxNetCloudService from runtime repo

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the differences between the new Kestrel echo server and the obsolete CoreFxNetCloudService. Understand the deployment model for Azure, the required test certificates, and how client certificate is captured in the old service. Review the linked PR for additional context.
