The provided URI scheme 'http' is invalid; expected 'https
-
Wednesday, June 06, 2007 9:40 PMHi,
I have created a simple WCF webservice and exposed it with a asp.net host.
I use windows client and generate the proxy class for the webservice.
I am using wshttpbinding for security. When I execute the client and the first method in the service gets called I get an exception message
"The provided URI scheme 'http' is invalid; expected 'https" Any Idea why this might be happening.
Here is my service configuration
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:1101/WCFService1.Host/WSHttpService.svc"
binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IWSHttpService"
contract="WCFService1.Client.WSHttpServ.IWSHttpService" name="WSHttpBinding_IWSHttpService">
</endpoint>
</client>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="WSHttpBinding_IWSHttpService" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true"
allowCookies="false">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"
enabled="false" />
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="None" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
algorithmSuite="Default" establishSecurityContext="true" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>

You have <security mode="Transport"> on the binding. This means it uses https. Change the <endpoint address=...> to agree, or change to a non-transport-security http binding.
Was this svcutil-generated (Add Web Referenc) config? What does the server config look like? It is surprising to generate 'inconsistent' config like this from the metadata.
