One service, multiple endpoints, multiple bindings on WCF. Why can't I reach my endpoints?

Question

I have a WCF service run by IIS. I would like to create two different clients (WPF and WP7), that are using the same service. The WPF client was already working with an endpoint using wsHttpBinding and https. Sadly WP7 doesn't do wsHttpBinding, only BasicHttpBinding. So I thought I would expose different endpoints for the two, so they could access the same service, but with different bindings and what not...

So here is my Web.config on IIS:

<configuration>

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
  </system.web>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <wsHttpBinding>
        <binding name="TransportSecurity">
        <reliableSession enabled="true" />
          <security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential" >
            <transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
          </security>
        </binding>
      </wsHttpBinding>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="BasicTransportSecurity">
           <security mode="Transport">
              <transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
           </security>
         </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="SmartCook2.Server.ISmartCookServiceBehavior">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
    <services>
      <service behaviorConfiguration="SmartCook2.Server.ISmartCookServiceBehavior"
        name="SmartCook2.Server.SmartCookService">
        <endpoint address="WS" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="TransportSecurity"
          name="WS" contract="SmartCook2.Server.ISmartCookService" />
        <endpoint address="Basic" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicTransportSecurity"
          name="Basic" contract="SmartCook2.Server.ISmartCookService" />
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" name="mex"
          contract="IMetadataExchange" />
      </service>
    </services>
  </system.serviceModel>
 <system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
  </system.webServer>
<connectionStrings>
    <add name="SmartCookDBEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/SmartCookContext.csdl|res://*/SmartCookContext.ssdl|res://*/SmartCookContext.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;data source=RENDERBETYAR;initial catalog=SmartCookDB;integrated security=True;pooling=False;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

</configuration>

Now if I got it right the endpoints should be accessible on the following addresses:

https://localhost/IISHostedSmartCook/SmartCookService.svc/Basic
https://localhost/IISHostedSmartCook/SmartCookService.svc/WS
https://localhost/IISHostedSmartCook/SmartCookService.svc/mex

If I check them in my browser I get nothing. There's no exception, but no content either. Using the base address (till the .svc part) I get the default service page and I can access the wsdl and it is valid. It has the endpoints, my service's methods etc correctly as far as I can tell.

If I try to add the ServiceReference to my WP7 project is Visual Studio, I can only see my service under the base address (specific endpoint addresses return nothing). If I add it, the classes are generated about right, only I can't call any of my service's methods and I get the error message "There is no endpoint listening at this address". (This also happens if I use the service client's constructor requiring the endpoint's name.)

What am I doing wrong?

Check here for detailed explanation.

What you will need to specify is the address like so in your endpoints:

  <service behaviorConfiguration="SmartCook2.Server.ISmartCookServiceBehavior"
    name="SmartCook2.Server.SmartCookService">
    <endpoint address="http://localhost/Service.svc/WS" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="TransportSecurity"
      name="WS" contract="SmartCook2.Server.ISmartCookService" />
    <endpoint address="http://localhost/Service.svc/Basic" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicTransportSecurity"
      name="Basic" contract="SmartCook2.Server.ISmartCookService" />
    <endpoint address="" binding="mexHttpsBinding" name="mex"
      contract="IMetadataExchange" />
  </service>

Answer 2

<services>
...
      <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
         <host>
            <baseAddresses>
               <add baseAddress="https://localhost/IISHostedSmartCook/SmartCookService.svc"/>
            </baseAddresses>
        </host>
   </service>
</services>
