https with WCF error: "Could not find base address that matches scheme https"

Question

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>

Answer 1

I had this exact same problem. Except my solution was to add an "s" to the binding value.

Old: binding="mexHttpBinding"

New: binding="mexHttpsBinding"

web.config snippet:

<services>
    <service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="LIMS.UI.Web.WCFServices.Accessioning.QuickDataEntryService">
        <endpoint behaviorConfiguration="AspNetAjaxBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="webBinding" 
            contract="LIMS.UI.Web.WCFServices.Accessioning.QuickDataEntryService" />
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
    </service>
