WCF Unable to upload large image files - wcf

I have created a WCF REST in .net and I am unable to upload large files on server. When I test the things it will show me error on PostMan Client.
413 Request Too Large
I have changed the web settings. to this.
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="webHttpBinding" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" transferMode="Streamed">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
This is me request stream.
Unable to paste my request stream.

A couple of things to check.
First, did you assign the "webHttpBinding" to an explicit endpoint? Something like this, in the <system.serviceModel> section:
<services>
<service name="YourServiceName">
<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="webHttpBinding"
contract="FullyQualified.IContractName" />
</service>
</services>
Unless you assign the configuration "webHttpBinding" to an endpoint via the bindingConfiguration attribute, the default (smaller) values for webHttpBinding will be used.
Alternatively, you could make the configuration you specified the default for webHttpBinding by omitting the name attribute in the <binding> element.
Another thing to check is the maxRequestLength value in the <httpRuntime> element in your config file. You can specify a maximum value of 2147483647 (Int32.MaxValue, basically) in the <system.web> section of your config file, like this:
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2147483647" />
</system.web>

WCF - "Failed to lookup a channel to receive an incoming message. Either the endpoint or the SOAP action was not found." but only from one client

I have a WCF service that is working great in production except for one new instance of a client that is unable to communicate with the service.
The WCF service runs over https on .Net 4.0 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system. All clients are .Net 4.0 or higher (these are not under my control/config).
Enabling WCF Tracing in the service when this one client fails to connect shows this error:
"Failed to lookup a channel to receive an incoming message. Either the endpoint or the SOAP action was not found."
I have verified the exact same URL and WSDL are used by working clients and the one nonworking client. I CAN view the service information site and WSDL over https using a web browser.
I am suspecting a possible SSL/TLS negotiation failure, but wanted to check to see if others are familiar with this particular type of situation.
Here is my service web config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_INamedService">
<security mode="Transport" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="NamedService.NamedServiceService">
<endpoint address="/NamedServiceService" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingNamespace="https://my.domain.com/NamedServiceService" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_INamedServiceService" contract="NamedServiceService.INamedServiceService" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" />
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />

</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Possibly a typo in your endpoint bindingConfiguration:
bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_INamedServiceService"
Your binding is named: BasicHttpBinding_INamedService not BasicHttpBinding_INamedServiceService
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_INamedService">
<security mode="Transport" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
not sure what your contract name is but it does have ServiceService in it too, might want to double check that out.
If it is in the same project, why is your service implement and service interface namespace different? There may be some spelling mistakes in your configuration. I suggest you check it carefully.
name="NamedService.NamedServiceService"
contract="NamedServiceService.INamedServiceService"
Besides, try to use the following configuration to set up https protocol.
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="myhttpsbinding" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" sendTimeout="00:10:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00">

TCP error code 10013 Cross Domain Policy Error with netTcpBinding Service and Silverlight Client

Was wondeirng if anybody could get me out of my cross domain policy hell.
I have a duplex WCF service which uses netTcpBining, and the client is a Silverlight 4 app. When I self host the service, then it works perfectly and my Silverlight clients can consume the service with no problems. However when I host it in IIS 7, that's when the trouble starts. When I host it in IIS I'm able to see the service at:
http://localhost/Conference/VideoConferenceService.svc
And when I add a reference to the service which is hosted in IIS, and try to call it, I get a:
CommunicationException: Could not connect to
net.tcp://localhost/Conference/VideoConferenceService.svc. The
connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:03.3071892. TCP
error code 10013: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way
forbidden by its access permissions.. This could be due to attempting
to access a service in a cross-domain way while the service is not
configured for cross-domain access. You may need to contact the owner
of the service to expose a sockets cross-domain policy over HTTP and
host the service in the allowed sockets port range 4502-4534.
Or if seeing the actual error helps inspire those who have seen it before, here is what it throws at me in Reference.cs:
I have checked out almost every solution suggested regarding solving the cross-domain policy error, and I've put my clientaccesspolicy.xml in my default website root in IIS, and also in wwwroot. I've also turned off all my firewalls. I'm able to see the policy at http://localhost/clientaccesspolicy.xml
and also at http://127.0.0.1/clientaccesspolicy.xml but I still get this error.
Here is my web.config for the service hosted in IIS 7:

Has anybody got any suggestions? This annoying error has taken days of my time thus far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT
When I check the files being retrieved in my web sessions using fiddler, it shows that my browser is retrieving the client access policy file, so I think the error lies somewhere else and WCF is just throwing this error at me? I've also set IE9 to clear its cache everytime its close. Take a look below.
Well I just managed to get it working. Couple of points worth mentioning are that:
1. If you look at the erroneous ServiceReferences.ClientConfig that I posted above (generated by visual studio when I gave the service address as: http://localhost/Conference/VideoConferenceService.svc ) you can see that the netTcp port which is 4502, was not generated as part of the endpoint, this is what what causing the TCP error 10016 (EndpointNotFoundException) as well as TCP error 10013. The correct ServiceReferences.ClientConfig is actually:
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="NetTcpBinding_IVideoConferenceService">
<binaryMessageEncoding />
<tcpTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" />
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:4502/Conference/VideoConferenceService.svc"
binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="NetTcpBinding_IVideoConferenceService"
contract="ServiceReference1.IVideoConferenceService" name="NetTcpBinding_IVideoConferenceService" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
2. When I was hosting my service in IIS 7, I was giving the port range 808:* as the netTcp ports, whereas I should have given 4502:* as the port range, like below:
Also from what I gathered, the website hosting the service should be on port 80, as Silverlight will look in localhost:80/ClientAccessPolicy.xml for the client access policy file.
And just for the record, for those who stumble across this same problem, this web.config managed to work in IIS:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="false" />
</system.web>

Also worth noting that you don't need to put any ports or base addresses in the web.config for IIS. It will create the service endpoint using the port 4502, I tried changing it to 4503, 4522 etc. and interestingly it didn't work with those ports, only with 4502.
We had a similar problem as specified in the original post. Just to help anyone who has not been able to resolve the issue with the solutions provided above, we found that the Windows firewall on the machine hosting the service was blocking the port we were trying to connect with net.tcp through. Once we allowed the traffic through the port on that software firewall our service started working as expected.
It may be worth checking any hardware firewall you might have in place as well to allow the ranges 4502-4530 I believe for net.tcp

How do I add a binding and endpoint that utilizes SSL for a WCF Workflow Service?

I have a need to secure my WCF service using SSL. The problem I'm running into is that this is a WCF Workflow service, and I can't seem to override the default bindings that it sets up behind the scenes.
There must be something that I'm missing in the configuration file, as whatever I do, the binding always comes back as: BasicHttpBinding_IService at address : http://myurl.com/biz/MyService.xamlx
It should be: https://myurl.com/biz/MyService.xamlx.
These are the bindings and endpoint sections:
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="basicBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="MyNamespace.MyService">
<endpoint address="https://myurl.com/biz/MyService.xamlx"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="basicBinding"
contract="IService" />
</service>
</services>
Thanks for any help!
A few things to try:
change the binding to wsHttpBinding and that will force SSL.
change clientCredentialType to Certificate.
use this example and set the httpsGetEnabled to true:

Customize a WCF RIA Services Endpoint

Is it possible to customize the parameters of a WCF RIA Services endpoint? Specifically, I would like to create a custom binding for the endpoint and increase the maxReceivedMessageSize to allow sending the contents of a file that is a few megabytes in size.
I've tried meddling in the web.config, but I'm getting the following error:
[InvalidOperationException]: The
contract name MyNamespace.MyService
could not be found in the list of
contracts implemented by the service
MyNamespace.MyService
web.config
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="CustomBinaryHttpBinding">
<binaryMessageEncoding />
<httpTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" />
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="MyNamespace.MyService">
<endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="MyNamespace.MyService" />
<endpoint address="/binary" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="CustomBinaryHttpBinding" contract="MyNamespace.MyService" />
</service>
</services>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
We had a similar problem - we want to send large bitmaps fom Silverlight client to Server using WCF-RIA service invoke operation.
The following change in Web.config worked for us:
<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" maxRequestLength="6225920"/>

https with WCF error: "Could not find base address that matches scheme https"

I go to https://mywebsite/MyApp/Myservice.svc and get the following error:
(The link works if I use http:// )
"The service '/MyApp/MyService.svc' cannot be activated due to an exception during compilation. The exception message is: Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http].."
EDIT: So if I change address="" to address="https:// ..." then I get this error instead:
"Error: The protocol 'https' is not supported..... The ChannelDispatcher at 'https://.../Annotation.svc' with contract(s) '"Annotation"' is unable to open its IChannelListener."
Here's what my Web.Config looks like:

I had this exact same problem. Except my solution was to add an "s" to the binding value.
Old:
binding="mexHttpBinding"
New:
binding="mexHttpsBinding"
web.config snippet:
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="LIMS.UI.Web.WCFServices.Accessioning.QuickDataEntryService">
<endpoint behaviorConfiguration="AspNetAjaxBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="webBinding"
contract="LIMS.UI.Web.WCFServices.Accessioning.QuickDataEntryService" />
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
It turned out that my problem was that I was using a load balancer to handle the SSL, which then sent it over http to the actual server, which then complained.
Description of a fix is here: http://blog.hackedbrain.com/2006/09/26/how-to-ssl-passthrough-with-wcf-or-transportwithmessagecredential-over-plain-http/
Edit: I fixed my problem, which was slightly different, after talking to microsoft support.
My silverlight app had its endpoint address in code going over https to the load balancer. The load balancer then changed the endpoint address to http and to point to the actual server that it was going to. So on each server's web config I added a listenUri for the endpoint that was http instead of https
<endpoint address="" listenUri="http://[LOAD_BALANCER_ADDRESS]" ... />
Make sure SSL is enabled for your server!
I got this error when trying to use a HTTPS configuration file on my local box which doesn't have that certificate. I was trying to do local testing - by converting some of the bindings from HTTPS to HTTP. I thought it would be easier to do this than try to install a self signed certificate for local testing.
Turned out I was getting this error becasue I didn't have SSL enabled on my local IIS even though I wasn't intending on actually using it.
There was something in the configuration for HTTPS. Creating a self signed cert in IIS7 allowed HTTP to then work :-)
I think you are trying to configure your service in a similar way to the following config. There is more information here: Specify a Service with Two Endpoints Using Different Binding Values. Also, other than for development, it's probably not a good idea to have both HTTP & HTTPS endpoints to the same service. It kinda defeats the purpose of HTTPS. Hope this helps!

In my case i am setting security mode to "TransportCredentialOnly" instead of "Transport" in binding. Changing it resolved the issue
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="webHttpSecure">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows" ></transport>
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
I was using webHttpBinding and forgot to dicate the security mode of "Transport" on the binding configuration which caused the error:
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="MyWCFServiceEndpoint">
<security mode="Transport" />
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
Adding this in configuration fixed the problem.
Look at your base address and your endpoint address (can't see it in your sample code). most likely you missed a column or some other typo e.g. https// instead of https://
