Calling a https web service (C#)

Question

I implemented a web service which is available under some https url. The client (a console app) calls it, but the following error is thrown:

The provided URI scheme 'https' is invalid; expected 'http'.

I searched that in the net, but I am not really sure how to solve it? Is this solved by adding some code to the web service?

Thanks :-)

Answer 1

You have <security mode="Transport"> on the binding. This means it uses https. Change the <endpoint address=...> to agree, or change to a non-transport-security http binding.

Was this svcutil-generated (Add Web Referenc) config? What does the server config look like? It is surprising to generate 'inconsistent' config like this from the metadata.
