How to get the wsdl file from a webservice s URL

Question

I want to get the WSDL file for a webservice and the only thing I have is its URL  like webservice example foo    If I use the URL directly only an error response is delivered

Its only possible to get the WSDL if the webservice is configured to deliver it. Therefor you have to specify a serviceBehavior and enable httpGetEnabled:

<serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="BindingBehavior">
        <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
        <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
    </behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>

In case the webservice is only accessible via https you have to enable httpsGetEnabled instead of httpGetEnabled.
