What are the minimal client settings i need to do for a streamlined WCF config in the app.config?
The default one is this:
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="WSHttpBinding_IService" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true"
allowCookies="false">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"
enabled="false" />
<security mode="Message">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
algorithmSuite="Default" establishSecurityContext="true" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
What can I exclude, and how much of that do i need?
Edit: Should i just start ripping out parts till it breaks? I was hoping to find some good optimized wsHttpBindings that people have good luck with.

There are three types of hosting environments for WCF services: IIS, WAS, and self-hosting. The term “self-hosting” refers to any application that provides its own code to initialize the hosting environment. This includes console, Windows Forms, WPF, and managed Windows services.
configuration.svcinfo: Contains a snapshot of the configuration generated for the client service endpoint for the local (app|web).config. configuration91. svcinfo: For each property in config, contains an XPath to the setting and the original value stored in config.
WCF achieves this by configuring binding attributes of an endpoint. WCF lets you choose HTTP or TCP transport protocol, encoding, etc. just by tweaking the value of binding attribute for an endpoint. To cater to different transport protocols, WCF lets you select HTTP, TCP and MSMQ binding types.
With the service running, right click the project that will contain the WCF client proxy and select Add > Service Reference. In the Add Service Reference Dialog, type in the URL to the service you want to call and click the Go button. The dialog will display a list of services available at the address you specify.
Jerograv is right, given that these are all defaults you can omit all of them. To test this I've created a simple service and created the minimal config required which is pretty much the address, the binding and the contract-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://sabra2/TestService/Service1.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding"
contract="IService1"/>
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
Just remember the ABC's of WCF. Address, Binding, Contract. That's all you need!
Your client only has to have an endpoint to talk to a WCF Service. Each endpoint only needs to describe each of the ABC's and you're done. The other stuff can be tacked on later.
That's one reason I'm not a big fan of adding Service References in Visual Studio.

I think you'll find that all of that is optional. All of those things in that particular binding are the defaults anyway.
In fact I think specifying the binding at all in the endpoint would be optional in this case.
