Why there are two ports when I run a WebApp

Question

All I did was dotnet new web command.

This is what it reported when I ran it:

 dotnet run
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Now listening on: https://localhost:5001
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Now listening on: http://localhost:5000
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Hosting environment: Development
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]

So my question is why it says now listening on both local host ports 5000 and 5001 ? When I went to browser, my localhost does work on 5001 but not 5000. So I am curious to understand that command line output .

It's because one port is for http, and the other one is for https

You can disable https listening from launchSettings, or more possible reasons on this topic here
