WCF service not working when accessed over HTTPS and HTTP

Question

I've installed a SSL certificate in IIS.

Now when I navigate to my domain https://www.example.com/ the page loads correctlty. But when I try to approach a web service (which normally works perfect over http) over https: https://www.example.com/service.svc/newprofile/?id=8&ipaddress=124.162.13.109 I get:

The resource cannot be found.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. 

Requested URL: /service.svc/newprofile/

I also checked here

• Webservice over SSL endpoint not found with 404
• create asp.net webservice for SSL HTTPS
• Moved my ASP.NET website to IIS 8 on windows server 2012... services missing: .svc files are viewable, but their methods give a 404

But renaming webHttpBinding to basicHttpBinding throws an unsupported error in combination with jsonp. Also the service element name in the web.config matches the fully qualified named of the class that implements my contract.

Here's my web.config

  <system.serviceModel>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
<bindings>
  <webHttpBinding>
    <binding name="webHttpBindingWithJsonP" crossDomainScriptAccessEnabled="true">

    <binding name="webHttpsBindingWithJsonP" crossDomainScriptAccessEnabled="true">

I checked the wsdl: http://www.example.com/service.svc?wsdl

The service in this case is defined as:

    <OperationContract()> _
<Web.WebInvoke(Method:="GET", ResponseFormat:=Web.WebMessageFormat.Json, BodyStyle:=Web.WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, _
       UriTemplate:="newprofile/?id={id}&ipaddress={ipaddress}")> _
        Function newProfile(ByVal Id As String,  Optional ByVal IPAddress As String = "") As service.Profile

My webservice

Namespace RestService
    <AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode:=AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)> _
    Public Class service
        Implements Iservice

        'my code
    End Class
End Namespace   

I enabled tracing in my web.config as well, here's part of the log (SO does not allow to post it all):

I want this service to be available over both http and https.

I also checked my web.config and global.asax.vb, but I'm not doing anything specifically to https requests, also not in IIS...what can this issue be?

UPDATE

Ok, removed some endpoints and now trying to figure out what to provide under address value of the endpoint. With this config below I get the error: The endpoint at 'http://<pcname>/service.svc' does not have a Binding with the None MessageVersion. 'System.ServiceModel.Description.WebHttpBehavior' is only intended for use with WebHttpBinding or similar bindings.

Answer 1

These kind of web services can be super sensitive to whether you're using HTTP or HTTPS to access them.

Try using this to enable SSL for WCF services in the web.config:

<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
        <webHttpBinding>
            <binding>
                <security mode="Transport" />

I just had a similar problem, see my answer to this question for more info: Moved my ASP.NET website to IIS 8 on windows server 2012... services missing: .svc files are viewable, but their methods give a 404

Answer 2

@Flo, Finally I am able to make it work. I have updated <endpoint behaviorConfiguration .. and set <service behaviorConfiguration=.., and it worked, i mean when you hit both http and https version of www.example.com/service.svc/newprofile/?id=8&ipaddress=124.162.13.109, it will get you correct output. Following is the system.serviceModel part of web.config. Please try this, let me know, if you are still not able to make it work.

<system.serviceModel>
  <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
