ServiceStack Soap 1.2 HTTPS Client

Question

I have a ServiceStack based Soap Client, which operates correctly for HTTP but when I try to use HTTPS it gives me this error

ServiceStack.WebServiceException: The provided URI scheme 'https' is invalid; ex
pected 'http'.
Parameter name: via ---> System.ArgumentException: The provided URI scheme 'http
s' is invalid; expected 'http'.
Parameter name: via

   at ElectronicServiceInterface.ESIClient.Login()

I am using a self signed certificate, but I am able to use curl to call my Soap service successfully. This to me indicates that the issue is at the client end.

My code goes along the lines of

using (var client = new Soap12ServiceClient(Uri))
{
    var request = new MyRequestObject { Username = Username, Password = Password };
    var response = client.Send<MyResponseObject>(request);
}

The above shows example request/response DTO class usage.

What do I have to do to make it work with HTTPS without using config files, only code?

Answer 1

I believe your problem is in your config file, try to add to the binding tag. regarding to this ServiceStack.IntegrationTests you should have

<bindings>
            <basicHttpBinding>
                <binding name="Endpoint_BasicHttpBinding" />
            </basicHttpBinding>
            <wsHttpBinding>
                <binding name="Endpoint_WsHttpBinding">
                    <security mode="None">
                        <transport clientCredentialType="None" />
                        <message establishSecurityContext="false" />
                    </security>
                </binding>
            </wsHttpBinding>
        </bindings>

but in this test, it is only configured to work on HTTP not HTTPS so all you have to do is to change <transport clientCredentialType="None" /> to <transport clientCredentialType="transport" />
