wsHttpBinding is a problem because silverlight doesn t support it

Ran into the same issue  this is how my solution turned out at the end            lt basicHttpsBinding gt               lt binding name  VerificationServicesPasswordBinding  gt                 lt security mode  Transport  gt                 lt  security gt               lt  binding gt               lt binding name  VerificationServicesPasswordBinding1    gt           lt  basicHttpsBinding gt    I basically replaced every occurrence of Http with Https  You can try adding both of them if you prefer

Are you running this on the Cassini  vs dev server  or on IIS with a cert installed  I have had issues in the past trying to hook up secure endpoints on the dev web server   Here is the binding configuration that has worked for me in the past  Instead of basicHttpBinding  it uses wsHttpBinding  I don t know if that is a problem for you    lt  -- Binding settings for HTTPS endpoint -- gt   lt binding name  WsSecured  gt       lt security mode  Transport  gt           lt transport clientCredentialType  None    gt           lt message clientCredentialType  None              negotiateServiceCredential  false              establishSecurityContext  false    gt       lt  security gt   lt  binding gt    and the endpoint   lt endpoint address       binding  wsHttpBinding      bindingConfiguration  WsSecured  contract  IYourContract    gt    Also  make sure you change the client configuration to enable Transport security

Its a good to remember that config files can be split across secondary files to make config changes easier on different servers  dev demo production etc   without having to recompile code app etc  For example we use them to allow onsite engineers to make endpoint changes without actually touching the  real  files   First step is to move the bindings section out of the WPF App Config into it s own separate file   The behaviours section is set to allow both http and https  doesn t seem to have an affect on the app if both are allowed    lt serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled  true  httpGetEnabled  true    gt    And we move the bindings section out to its own file     lt bindings configSource  Bindings config    gt     In the bindings config file we switch the security based on protocol     lt  -- None   http    -- gt     lt  -- Transport   https    -- gt     lt security mode  None   gt    Now the on site engineers only need to change the Bindings Config file and the Client Config where we store the actual URL for each endpoint   This way we can change the endpoint from http to https and back again to test the app without having to change any code   Hope this helps

To re-cap the question in the OP      I am connecting  to a WCF service  using WCFStorm which is able to retrieve all the meta data properly  but when I call the actual method I get       The provided URI scheme  https  is invalid  expected  http   Parameter name  via   The WCFStorm tutorials addresses this issue in Working with IIS and SSL   Their solution worked for me         To fix the error  generate a client config that matches the wcf service configuration   The easiest way to do this is with Visual Studio          Open Visual Studio and add a service reference to the service   VS will generate an app config file that matches the service   Edit the app config file so that it can be read by WCFStorm  Please see Loading Client App config files  Ensure that the endpoint  name and endpoint  contract attributes match the values in wcfstorm       Load the modified app config to WCFStorm  using the Client Config toobar button     Invoke the method   This time the method invocation will no longer fail      Item  1  last bullet in effect means to remove the namespace prefix that VS prepends to the endpoint contract attribute  by default  ServiceReference1    lt endpoint     contract  ServiceReference1 ListsService        gt    so in the app config that you load into WCFStorm you want for ListsService    lt endpoint     contract  ListsService        gt

FWIW this error can happen if you are not carful when adding your service reference to the application that is calling the https service For example if you deleted your previous service reference that used to be http   example com Service svc and then recreated it so it is now https   example com service svc  If you are not careful to delete the old client and binding in the web config before recreating the service reference it will create BasicHttpBinding IService1 instead of BasicHttpBinding IService  Then when you deploy the application to the actual server it will say  https is invalid expected http  because its looking for BasicHttpBinding IService1  amp  not BasicHttpBinding IService any longer  Meanwhile you are trying all the suggestions above with no result  Just thought I would throw that out there

If you do this programatically and not in web config its   new WebHttpBinding WebHttpSecurityMode Transport

Adding this as an answer  just since you can t do much fancy formatting in comments  I had the same issue  except I was creating and binding my web service client entirely in code  Reason is the DLL was being uploaded into a system  which prohibited the use of config files    Here is the code as it needed to be updated to communicate over SSL      Public Function GetWebserviceClient   As WebWorker workerSoapClient     Dim binding   New BasicHttpBinding       binding Name    WebWorkerSoap      binding CloseTimeout   TimeSpan FromMinutes 1      binding OpenTimeout   TimeSpan FromMinutes 1      binding ReceiveTimeout   TimeSpan FromMinutes 10      binding SendTimeout   TimeSpan FromMinutes 1           HERE S THE IMPORTANT BIT FOR SSL     binding Security Mode   BasicHttpSecurityMode Transport      Dim endpoint   New EndpointAddress  https   myurl worker asmx        Return New WebWorker workerSoapClient binding  endpoint  End Function

Change  from    lt security mode  None  gt    to    lt security mode  Transport  gt    in your web config file  This change will allow you to use https instead of http

I had the EXACT same issue as the OP   My configuration and situation were identical   I finally narrowed it down to being an issue in WCFStorm after creating a service reference in a test project in Visual Studio and confirming that the service was working   In Storm you need to click on the  Config  settings option  NOT THE  Client Config     After clicking on that  click on the  Security  tab on the dialog that pops up  Make sure  Authentication Type  is set to  None   The default is  Windows Authentication    Presto  it works   I always test out my methods in WCFStorm as I m building them out  but have never tried using it to connect to one that has already been set up on SSL   Hope this helps someone
