Flask on IIS using httpPlatformHandler with SSL and hostnames
Hi,
I was hoping to get a solution to how to get a working fastcgi enabled Flask app to use httpPlatformHandler so when we hit https://domain.internal everything works like it did with fastcgi
To get our development environment up and running we followed https://medium.com/@dpralay07/deploy-a-python-flask-application-in-iis-server-and-run-on-machine-ip-address-ddb81df8edf3 which was great as it worked. This was using FastCGI. We can visit https://domain.internal and it works great.
As it worked well, we used it for production as we were just running with a few users. However as demand is ramping up, we want to move over to either httpPlatformHandler
However httpPlatformHandler got us nowhere as we came across errors as documented here https://serverfault.com/questions/1104949/python-flask-on-iis-httpplatform-doesnt-load-when-visiting-hostname
We have an internal domain name e.g. https://digital.internal (note the SSL) and need it to work the same way. We're on Windows Server 2019 with IIS. How do we get from a work fastcgi app to one that uses

if name == "main":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0",threaded=True)
Are there any guides, tutorials or suggestions to take us from zero to hero on this?
