https with WCF error: "Could not find base address that matches scheme https"

Question

I go to https://mywebsite/MyApp/Myservice.svc and get the following error:

(The link works if I use http:// )

"The service '/MyApp/MyService.svc' cannot be activated due to an exception during compilation. The exception message is: Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http].."

EDIT: So if I change address="" to address="https:// ..." then I get this error instead:

"Error: The protocol 'https' is not supported..... The ChannelDispatcher at 'https://.../Annotation.svc' with contract(s) '"Annotation"' is unable to open its IChannelListener."

Here's what my Web.Config looks like:

<services>       <service behaviorConfiguration="AnnotationWCF.AnnotationBehavior"               name="AnnotationWCF.Annotation">               <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_Annotation"                       contract="AnnotationWCF.Annotation" />               <endpoint address=""                    binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="SecureTransport"                   contract="AnnotationWCF.Annotation" />               <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />       </service> 

<bindings> <basicHttpBinding>     <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_Annotation" maxBufferSize="2147483647"             maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">         <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"             maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647"             maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />     </binding>     <binding name="SecureTransport" maxBufferSize="2147483647"             maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">         <security mode="Transport">         <transport clientCredentialType="None"/>         </security>         <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"             maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647"             maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />     </binding> </basicHttpBinding> 

Answer 1

I had this exact same problem. Except my solution was to add an "s" to the binding value.

Old: binding="mexHttpBinding"

New: binding="mexHttpsBinding"

web.config snippet:

<services>     <service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="LIMS.UI.Web.WCFServices.Accessioning.QuickDataEntryService">         <endpoint behaviorConfiguration="AspNetAjaxBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="webBinding"              contract="LIMS.UI.Web.WCFServices.Accessioning.QuickDataEntryService" />         <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />     </service>
