Hi,

 

Anyone got any ideas about this plz?

 

Had a previously working Endpoint WCF Service added using HTTP, but the server it runs on has recently been changed and is now running on HTTPS.

 

So i naturally went into the tester tool and edited the instance. I changed the Service Endpoint URL - required to Https, but when i do next and UPDATE, i get an erros saying "Service Endpoint does not exist"....

 

If i browse to the URL is comes up fine, so i know the server and service can be reached.

 

So why is the tester tool not allowing me to use HTTPS?

 

Thanks

The Endpoints WCF service instance have two required Service Keys:


 


Service Endpoint URL - Required


Service Metadata URL - Required


 


Was the 'Service Metatadata URL - Required' also updated to HTTPS?

Hiya Tin,

 

Yeah i updated both fields to HTTPS. If you update the service, only the Metadata one is accepted.

If i change the top one to HTTPS, then it says invalid and won't update.

I believe the protocol (HTTP/HTTPS), can be configured at two layers:


 


1.  The IIS binding


2.   The Web service contract


 


* Perhaps the IIS HTTPS binding exist but the Web service contract is still HTTP, or vise versa


** I believe the WSDL definition may indicated which endpoint is available (HTTP or HTTPS)


 


Perhaps this is also related:
