Creating URIs for webmethods

I have created a WCF service and I want my client to use servicemethods directly using a URL without creating a proxy class and object for it. How to generate the direct URLs for each webmethod. IF I have 5 webmethods, I want 5 URLS to give to clients to consume.
If you want to call your web service methods without generating the proxy class and object then you should make that service as REST service.
Please look at the below links that will provide you basic idea of what WCF REST Services is.

WCF Resftul webHttpBinding Service with custom authentication filter

Masters,
I am new to WCF but aware about Web API's [Authorize] attribute.
Same i want to duplicate for WCF REST basic authentication service, Expecting as the security header will pass in every subsequent request once authenticated.
We target to make Restful service using webHttpBinding. Please provide any relevant example to achieve this. Also we target to run same on Https then.
Things seems much simpler in Web API but not in WCF.
I googled and get some answers like
Something like an operation filter in WCF REST?
Can anybody give me simpler way to achieve this very straight forward as we do in Web API.
Thanks.
There's some nice article and projects for activating authentication in WCF:

Consuming WCF Restful Service hosted by IIS

I have successfully deployed my WCF restful web service to IIS 7. I have verified that my service is working when I call it from a browser in IE via a something like "https://myserver/mservice.svc/postuser/JohnSmith" . The method is a POST and I have verified that my IIS configuration allows for POSTS.
My issue is as follows. We are using a 3rd party Software as a Service application that allows for external web service calls. It allows you to configure the URL "https://myserver/mservice.svc/postuser/" and then you can choose a parameter. When I call the web service from the external application, a 404 error is registered in IIS.
I think there must be some difference between the way I call my webservice "https://myserver/mservice.svc/postuser/JohnSmith" and the way the SAAS application is calling my external web service. The web service is attempting to pass the username, but I cannot detect how it is constructing this.
Do I need to write a web enabled front end for my web service that is hosted in IIS that can handle XML? I'm assuming this is how the SAAS application is trying to pass the username onto my web service.
Thank you all in advance for your ideas and help.

How to consume rest service from https?

hi i wish to publish my rest service in .net to a https:// server.. do i have to make any change in it so that to consume it in my asp.net application?
If this is a service hosted on IIS then you really just need to do something like this. You may also need to change some of the binding config.
Your service implementation will not have to change.
