Change web.config during deployment

I need to switch between http and https during development and deployment.

To do that, I need to make the following changes in web.config:

 <behaviors>
  <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="DirectInstallHelperServiceBehavior">
      <!-- need to change to <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" httpsGetEnabled="true"> -->
      <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="false">
      </serviceMetadata>
    </behavior>
  </serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>

<bindings>
  <webHttpBinding>
    <binding>
<!-- need to add the following, but don't know how
      <security mode="Transport">
        <transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/>
      </security>
-->
    </binding>
  </webHttpBinding>
</bindings>

So I try to add the following lines in Web.Release.config:

<behaviors>
  <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="DirectInstallHelperServiceBehavior">
      <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" httpsGetEnabled="true" xdt:Transform="setAttribute(httpsGetEnabled, httpGetEnabled)" xdt:Locator="Match(name)"></serviceMetadata>
    </behavior>
  </serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>

<bindings>
  <webHttpBinding>
    <binding>
      <security mode="Transport" xdt:Transform="InsertAfter(/configuration/system.serviceModel/bindings/webHttpBinding/binding)">
        <transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/>
      </security>
    </binding>
  </webHttpBinding>
</bindings>

But I am doing it wrong because when I publish the service to my filesystem, I still see the development http version of web.config. Any help is appreciated.

Change your xdt:Transform value to SetAttributes. And remove xdt:Locator since there is no name attribute.

<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" httpsGetEnabled="true" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes"></serviceMetadata>
