REST WCF Service Over SSL

I am trying to configure a REST WCF service over SSL and I keep getting:

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

Can somebody please take a look at my config file? Thanks.

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
  </system.web>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <wsHttpBinding>

          </security>
        </binding>

Two choices:

  1. Specify the full address in the endpoints.

  2. Specify somewhere in the tag the base addresses used for the host, for example:

<host>
  <baseAddresses>
    <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8000/service"/>
    <add baseAddress="https://localhost:8001/service"/>
  </baseAddresses>
</host>

Let me guess: You are running your service from Visual Studio in Developement web server (Cassini), don't you? Development web server does not support HTTPS. You have to host your service in IIS and follow Greg's advice to add HTTPS binding for the site.

You need to add a https binding in IIS.

  1. Navigate to your site in IIS
  2. Click 'Bindings...' in the Actions panel on the right.
  3. Click 'Add'
  4. Select 'https' and select a certificate.
