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

Question

I've been through several web site that suggest solution to this problem, but still I can't get rid of it.

My WebConfig:

<bindings>
  <webHttpBinding>
    <binding name="SecureBasicRest">
      <security mode="Transport" />
    </binding>
  </webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
  <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="svcBehavior">
      <serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
      <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
    </behavior>
  </serviceBehaviors>
  <endpointBehaviors>
    <behavior name="svcEndpoint">
      <webHttp helpEnabled="true"/>
      <enableWebScript/>
    </behavior>
  </endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
  <service name="SvcContract.Authenticate" behaviorConfiguration="svcBehavior">
    <endpoint binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="SecureBasicRest"
              behaviorConfiguration="svcEndpoint" name="webHttp"
              contract="SvcContract.Authenticate" />
  </service>
</services>  

Hope someone could help. Thanks in advance!.

Edit

I have to make this work with
https://localhost:6188/Authenticate/Login?username=user&password=pass&ip=127.0.0.1

Change

<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true"/>

to

<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="false"/>

You're telling WCF to use https for the metadata endpoint and I see that your'e exposing your service on http, and then you get the error in the title.

You also have to set <security mode="None" /> if you want to use HTTP as your URL suggests.
