I go to https://mywebsite/MyApp/Myservice.svc and get the following error:

(The link works if I use http:// )

‘The service ‘/MyApp/MyService.svc’ cannot be activated due to an exception during compilation. The exception message is: Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http]..‘

EDIT: So if I change address='' to address='https:// ...' then I get this error instead:

‘Error: The protocol ‘https’ is not supported….. The ChannelDispatcher at ‘https://…/Annotation.svc‘ with contract(s) ”Annotation” is unable to open its IChannelListener.‘

Here’s what my Web.Config looks like:

<services>       <service behaviorConfiguration='AnnotationWCF.AnnotationBehavior'               name='AnnotationWCF.Annotation'>               <endpoint address='' binding='basicHttpBinding' bindingConfiguration='BasicHttpBinding_Annotation'                       contract='AnnotationWCF.Annotation' />               <endpoint address=''                    binding='basicHttpBinding' bindingConfiguration='SecureTransport'                   contract='AnnotationWCF.Annotation' />               <endpoint address='mex' binding='mexHttpBinding' contract='IMetadataExchange' />       </service> 

<bindings> <basicHttpBinding>     <binding name='BasicHttpBinding_Annotation' maxBufferSize='2147483647'             maxReceivedMessageSize='2147483647'>         <readerQuotas maxDepth='2147483647' maxStringContentLength='2147483647'             maxArrayLength='2147483647' maxBytesPerRead='2147483647'             maxNameTableCharCount='2147483647' />     </binding>     <binding name='SecureTransport' maxBufferSize='2147483647'             maxReceivedMessageSize='2147483647'>         <security mode='Transport'>         <transport clientCredentialType='None'/>         </security>         <readerQuotas maxDepth='2147483647' maxStringContentLength='2147483647'             maxArrayLength='2147483647' maxBytesPerRead='2147483647'             maxNameTableCharCount='2147483647' />     </binding> </basicHttpBinding>

  1. It turned out that my problem was that I was using a load balancer to handle the SSL, which then sent it over http to the actual server, which then complained.

    Description of a fix is here: http://blog.hackedbrain.com/2006/09/26/how-to-ssl-passthrough-with-wcf-or-transportwithmessagecredential-over-plain-http/

    Edit: I fixed my problem, which was slightly different, after talking to microsoft support.

    My silverlight app had its endpoint address in code going over https to the load balancer. The load balancer then changed the endpoint address to http and to point to the actual server that it was going to. So on each server’s web config I added a listenUri for the endpoint that was http instead of https

    <endpoint address='' listenUri='http://[LOAD_BALANCER_ADDRESS]' ... />
