I am using a RestClient app to communicate with my WCF service .and I am getting the following exception

The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.

This is the C# code I use

            string q = string.Format(@"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
            WebClient client = new WebClient();
            string Url = string.Format("{0}/Get?queries={1}", BaseUrl,HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode(q));
            client.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.ContentType, "application/json");
            var result = client.DownloadString(Url);
            Console.WriteLine("======================output================================");
            Console.WriteLine(result);
            Console.WriteLine("===========================================");

Here is the error message

Here is my binding

<binding name="wsHttpEndpoint" >
                    <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />

                        <transport clientCredentialType="Certificate" />

                    </security>
                </binding>

And my endpoint behavior ,not that I set maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647"

<behavior name="MyEndpointBehavior">
                    <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647" />
                    <clientCredentials>

                        </serviceCertificate>
                    </clientCredentials>

I had similar errors coming from the depths of my http bindings in WCF.

client -> The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.

client -> Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

server (got this with the help of "procdump") -> The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request

Eventually after many hours I came upon the HTTP.sys logging (in C:\WINDOWS\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR ) and I discovered that the WCF self-hosted service connections were being forcibly dropped (on purpose) because of an obscure configuration issue (minimum send rate bytes per second). Unfortunately it took another few hours to reconfigure that (you cannot do it via "netsh http add timeout" so you have to do it within the app or within IIS when not self-hosted).

Its common (generic) message.

You should use Trace Viewer Tool (SvcTraceViewer.exe) to find out server error

I dont't know if is the same error, but in my case, the exception was in Json, that cannot convert the Date value, because it was empty.

DateTime values that are greater than DateTime.MaxValue or smaller than DateTime.MinValue when converted to UTC cannot be serialized to JSON.

The trace viewer was very useful to find the issue.

Configure WCF tracing in your app.config / web.config and check Error.svclog (it will be created near your binary file) for details. In my case it was because of using Auto-property initializer (property without setter) - a feature from C# 6.0

<Message>No set method for property 'FailedCount' in type 'MyProject.Contracts.Data.SyncStatusByVersion'.</Message>
<StackTrace>   at System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContract.DataContractCriticalHelper.ThrowInvalidDataContractException(String message, Type type)
               at WriteSyncStatusByVersionToJson(XmlWriterDelegator , Object , XmlObjectSerializerWriteContextComplexJson , ClassDataContract , XmlDictionaryString[] )
               ...
</StackTrace>

To configure WCF tracing:

<system.diagnostics>
    <sources>
      <source name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="Information, ActivityTracing" propagateActivity="true" >
        <listeners>
          <add name="xml"/>
        </listeners>
      </source>
      <source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging">
        <listeners>
          <add name="xml"/>
        </listeners>
      </source>
      <source name="myUserTraceSource" switchValue="Information, ActivityTracing">
        <listeners>
          <add name="xml"/>
        </listeners>
      </source>
    </sources>
    <sharedListeners>
      <add name="xml" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener" initializeData="Error.svclog" />
    </sharedListeners>
</system.diagnostics>
