WCF Web Service Puzzle

Hi Joe, 

I know I haven't bought you a beer lately but, if you can figure this one out I will buy you (or anyone else) a six pack!

In mojoPortal you have the RoleService.scv and the AuthenticationService.svc WCF services that I have been consuming with my Silverlight 3 client application (online test for ADHD) and everything works fine.  I am running these services witnh HTTPS and a server certificate. I have created another WCF service called MEDChekService.svc that I have been using in development and staging without issues but, when I deploy to the hosting service the MEDChekService.svc does not work but the AuthenticationService.svc and RoleService.svc both work fine using SSL.

The error that returns when I access the MEDChekService.svc is this:

Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http].


------here is a snippet from my web.config for the services --------------

Any ideas? This has been driving me nuts for a week and none of the other forums i have searched so for have a fix. :(

Brad

Re: WCF Web Service Puzzle

Did you ever get a solution to this problem? I am having a similar issue just now and came across your post.

Re: WCF Web Service Puzzle

I'm really no wcf super guru so not sure if this is helpful or not, but one thing I remember about implementing the Authentication and Role services was that in order to get better control over the service endpoint to support multiple sites based on folder names where I needed to be able to have the folder name as part of the url for the service (and I did not want to have to hard code the service url in Web.config since it would change from installation to installation) I ended up implementing a custom ServiceHostFactory. So if you look in AuthenticationService.svc you'll see this:

<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Service="System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService" Factory="mojoPortal.Web.mojoServiceHostFactory" %>

and mojoPortal.Web.mojoSeriviceHostFactory.cs can be found in the Web/Components folder.

really I have no idea if any of that has any bearing at all on your custom service or the problems you are having but thought maybe it was worth mentioning.

Best,

Joe
