WCF problem with POSTs using ssl (https)

Daniel picture Daniel · Feb 12, 2010 · Viewed 8.9k times · Source

I currently have a webHttp binding WCF restful service, it works great over http, I can make Post of large sizes due to my webconfig settings, now I am trying to use it over https (ssl), now my gets work fine, but my posts dont, it doesnt work when the file size is over a certain amount, i was wondering why this could be since my webconfig specifies a larger size and it works good over http, here is my relevant webconfig.. any suggestions

Thanks

<system.serviceModel>
<client>
  <endpoint binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="webHttp"
    contract="PrimeStreamInfoServices.IService1" name="Client" />

If you want to use webHttpBinding over SSL then you have configure your binding to use transport security like:

<security mode="Transport"> 

This link provides some details with sample config to deal with the following error:

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

Sample config from the blog:

<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>    
 <endpointBehaviors>
  <behavior name="TestServiceAspNetAjaxBehavior">
   <enableWebScript />
  </behavior>
 </endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
<services>
 <service name="TestService">
  <endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="TestServiceAspNetAjaxBehavior"
   binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="webBinding" contract="TestService" />
 </service>
</services>
 <bindings>
   <webHttpBinding>
     <binding name="webBinding">
       <security mode="Transport">
       </security>
     </binding>
   </webHttpBinding>
 </bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
