Question

I have an custom binding defined as follows:

<customBinding>
<binding name="binaryHttpBinding">
 <binaryMessageEncoding />
 <httpTransport />
</binding>

This is used for an endpoint that a Silverlight 3 application uses to connect to the service. This works fine under HTTP, but i would like to specify this binding to use HTTPS and I am kinda lost on how to define that. I am using selfSSL.exe from the IIS Resource Toolkit to setup an SSL on my local machine. I can browse the svc file fine through HTTPS (although the browser throws up a warning that its not a recognized cert). How can i setup this custom binding to use transport security over HTTPS?

Answer 1

Simple change, use the httpsTransport like so:

<customBinding>
<binding name="binaryHttpBinding">
 <binaryMessageEncoding />
 <httpsTransport />
</binding>
