[c#] WCF Exception: Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint

I'm trying to host a WCF web service on a separate Website in IIS with https at 443 as the only binding.

The following configurations works well when I use it in a website which uses both the bindings (http(80) / https(443)). If I remove the http binding, it starts throwing the following error.

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

How do I make it work in an IIS website with https binding only?

  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="defaultBasicHttpBinding">
          <security mode="Transport">

My issue was caused by missing bindings in IIS, in the left tree view "Connections", under Sites, Right click on your site > edit bindings > add > https

Choose 'IIS Express Development Certificate' and set port to 443 Then I added another binding to the webconfig:

<endpoint address="wsHttps" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="DefaultWsHttpBinding" name="Your.bindingname" contract="Your.contract" />

Also added to serviceBehaviours: <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" httpsGetEnabled="true" />

And eventually it worked, none of the solutions I checked on stackoverflow for this error was applicable to my specific scenario, so including here in case it helps others

In my case the binding name in under protocol mapping did not match the binding name on the endpoint. They match in the example below.

<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpsBinding" contract="serviceName" />

and

    <protocolMapping>
        <add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https" />
    </protocolMapping>    

Open IIS And right click on Default App Pool and Add Binding to make application work with HTTPS protocol.

type : https

IP address : All unassigned

port no : 443

SSL Certificate : WMSVC

then

Click on and restart IIS

Done

In my case this fixed the issue

1. Go to Project Properties by clicking F4 on the project name
2. Set SSLEnabled = true

You can get this if you ONLY configure https as a site binding inside IIS.

You need to add http(80) as well as https(443) - at least I did :-)

My issue was also caused by missing https binding in IIS: Selected default website > On the far right pane selected Bindings > add > https

Choose 'IIS Express Development Certificate' and set port to 443

I tried the binding according to the answer by @Szymon but It did not work for me. I tried basicHttpsBinding which is new in .net 4.5 and It solved the issue. Here is the complete configuration that works for me.

<system.serviceModel>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="false" />
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior>
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpsBinding>
        <binding name="basicHttpsBindingForYourService">
          <security mode="Transport">
            <transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"/>
          </security>
        </binding>
      </basicHttpsBinding>
    </bindings>
    <services>
      <service name="YourServiceName">
        <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpsBinding" bindingName="basicHttpsBindingForYourService" contract="YourContract" />
      </service>
    </services>   
</system.serviceModel>

FYI: My application's target framework is 4.5.1. IIS web site that I created to deploy this wcf service only has https binding enabled.
