WCF Timeout Exception on IIS hosting - wcf

Thanks in Adavance.
I am getting timeout exception after 5 minutes eventhough all timeouts are set to 10 minutes. Wcf is hosted in IIS.

WCF call throwing a TimeoutException when client is behind Proxy

I have a WCF Service which is hosted. The service calls takes anywhere between 30 secs or more than a few minutes (but less than 10) to perform its processing as per the business requirements. I am facing a problem when the client is behind the proxy and the processing on the server side is greater than 1 min. If the processing is less than 1 min, the call succeeds without any problem. This indicates that there is no issue with the connenctivity to the server through proxy. However the issue is more with timeout at the proxy server.
I get the following exception
The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after
00:09:59.9619962.Increase the timeout value passed to the call to
Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time
allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer
timeout.

I have tried the following options:
1) Implemented a MessageInspector and set the "Keep-Alive" to "2000000".
2) Checked the request and response through Fiddler and see HTTP/1.1 504 Connection Timed Out
My understanding is that the proxy is not waiting beyond a minute even though all the timeouts are set at the WCF service level.
How do I ensure that proxy waits till the WCF service call returns?
Would appreciate if I can get inputs to solve this problem.

wcf service to upload/download large files raises exception if returned stream is null

i'm writing a wcf service to handle large files, i've followed the rules explained on msdn and found around on web. The service download method returns a stream and calls a business logic object which searches for documents into an ecm . the ecm api raises an exception when there aren't matching documents and the bl object returns a null stream.
The server side code executes without exceptions, but when the response reaches the client i got a System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException : The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly .
I've searched the web and all problems related to that exception refer to excessive size of returned values , while i'm having the opposite problem. My question is there's a specific way to handle null return streams ? Is something related to the service or client configuration ? at the moment i'm returning an empty stream , but it doesn't look a smart solution .
Below i've addded sever-client configuration and the trace of the wcf service.

programmatically create netTcp binding with certificates

I have a general purpose hosting service for WCF (.net v4). It allows for multiple agents to be dropped in plug-in style with each agent having its own config file. It was written as a service since all sites will not have IIS or WAS intalled but we can specify .net v4 and our custome service.
We have had no issues with HTTP, HTTPS or TCP (without credentials). When we add, a certificate to the server it appears to start without an issue. As soon as we attempt to call the servie we get a channel fault. We wrote a small self-hosting program that uses the config file rather than programmatically creating the endpoing and it works without any issue. We can only speculate we missed a setting but cannot identify which.
The error we get is shown below. It appears that for some reason the client it trying to set up a dual-channel tcp connection which we did not configure in the host.
Protocol Type application/negotiate was sent to a service that does not support that type of upgrade.

Vague WCF Error on client side when processing a large object graph

I am calling a WCF service from a SharePoint site and getting an error on the client with below details, when relatively large object graph is returned.
On debugging the service I can see that is contructs the object correctly and the method returns the final object (that has the list of other objects) correctly. But I get exception on client side on the service method call.
Thie service/method works fine in most of the cases. Below are the service configurations (apologies for bad formatting)

This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

I think this is about MaxItemsInObjectGraph property. Here is the answer to the similar problem.
#paramosh - Thanks a lot!!!
That did the trick. For others reference I was actually using a Non-RESTful WCF service. Hence I modified the solution as below
Calling below function before the web svc method call:
private void ExpandObjectGraphItems(AdminServiceClient svc)
{
var operations = svc.Endpoint.Contract.Operations;
foreach (var operation in operations)
{
var dataContractBehavior = operation.Behaviors.Find<System.ServiceModel.Description.DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior>();
if (dataContractBehavior != null)
{
dataContractBehavior.MaxItemsInObjectGraph = int.MaxValue;
}
}
}
Added following attribute to service config:
<behavior name="StandardServiceBehaviour">
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483646"/>

WCF transport security, wsHttpBinding, message security in load balancer

I have a WCF service that uses message security over HTTPS using wsHttpBinding behind load balancer. When connects to the service on web browser via https, it works. However, Windowns forms client failed, using certificate over https,
Update
The request url is https, but after the exception saying http, below is exception tracing on server side:
For example: the request url is
https://www.server.com/wcf.svc'.
But it becomes
http://www.server.com:81/wcf.svc' on the server side. Is it the load balancer causing it.
System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException, System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
There was no channel actively listening at 'http://www.server.com:81/wcf.svc'. This is often caused by an incorrect address URI. Ensure that the address to which the message is sent matches an address on which a service is listening.
Below is the WCF service config:

InnerException:
Review the configuration of your load balancer, and make sure that the requests are being for warded to the correct host AND PORT number. If the port number you chose is not standard, make sure to adjust the IIS Site Binding and the base address of your service.
One important thing to understand about transport security is that it has to be configured on a "hop" by "hop" basis. In your example, you have two hops (client) -> (load balancer) and (load balancer) -> (server).
Securing your connection from the client to the load balancer doesn't automatically configure security from the load balancer to the server. You need to install and configure an ssl certificate on both the load balancer and the server.
Your initial https request ended up being an http request on the server, that is a good indication that you did not configure a secure channel between the load balancer and the server.
If you do not wish to secure the connection between the load balancer and the server, then expose your service without transport security. With this, you can still have the communication from the client to the load balancer (the first hop) on ssl.
