Host.Description.Endpoints.Find doesn't work with localhost

Question

endpoint = context.Host.Description.Endpoints.Find(context.incomingMessageheaders.To);

This doesn't work if the client is using LocalHost in url. In this case incomingMessageheader.To contains Localhost, where as the hosted endpoints is having

my machine name.

Can you give us a little more context as to what you are trying to do and what is going wrong?

I want to get the serviceName + OperationName from the incoming request.

I was trying the solution provided at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wcf/thread/4f421939-ca19-4620-a47f-05e3bf5d4a67

my problem is that if client is using the service URL as http://localhost/site/service.svc, then the IncomingMessageheader.to is coming as http://localhost/site/service.svc.

so the code instanceContext.Host.Description.Endpoints.Find(endpointUri); fails because the Endpoints on my service side is

http://mycompurtername/site/service.svc. due to which the Find(enpointUrl) is returning null

Is there a way that i can get ServiceName and operationName from incoming request?

Regards

Since you run the code inside the service method, it should know the its own name (method name).

As for not finding the endpoint - you might want to do the search based on the relative url path and not the full path. So strip the prefix http://..domain name../ and run over the endpoints until you find one which ends with the suffix you got after you remvoed the domain name. System.Net.Uri might be helpful.
