WCF REST: WebHost failed to Process Request

Question

I have a WCF service deployed behind the load balancer, when I try to reach it with SOAP it works great, but when I try to reach it via REST url I get the below mentioned error.

This is the REST URL I try to reach it with https:// devreporting.dev.sample.com/ReportingManagement.svc/getAddtionsByCategory..

The load balancer VIP is https:// devreporting.dev.sample.com and there is only one server behind the firewall which is dev01

I believe this is some problem with the host headers, but not sure how to fix this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

        This is often caused by an incorrect address URI. 
        Ensure that the address to which the message is sent matches an address on which a service is listening. --->

Phew...I was missing the security configuration in my section, when I added it, things worked like charm

   <webHttpBinding>
    <binding name="CommerceRESTBinding">
        <security mode="Transport">
                <transport clientCredentialType = "None" proxyCredentialType="None"/>
        </security>

</binding>
  </webHttpBinding>
