Wcf 3.5 - Different endpoints with different bindings and SOAP - wcf

Question

I have a problem... I explored whole internet and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Problem: WCF web service, .Net Framework 3.5, 2 different type of clients (Handheld device and usual computer)
What I'm trying to do is to create 2 diferent endpoints, one with basicBinding (For SOAP request) and other with wsBinding (for usual computers)
So I go thru web.config and I created 2 different bindings, related with 2 different endpoints:
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicBinding" openTimeout="00:10:00" receiveTimeout="23:59:00"
sendTimeout="23:59:00" messageEncoding="Text" />
</basicHttpBinding>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="DefaultBinding" openTimeout="00:10:00" receiveTimeout="23:59:59"
sendTimeout="23:59:59">
<reliableSession inactivityTimeout="01:00:00" />
<security mode="None">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
<message clientCredentialType="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="qtswsdl.QTS_ServiceBehavior"
name="qtswsdl.QTS_Service">
<endpoint address="http://host.com/service.svc/ForHh"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicBinding"
name="handHeldEndPoint" contract="qtswsdl.QTSPort" />
<endpoint address="http://host.com/service.svc/ForCp"
binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="DefaultBinding"
name="coProcessorEndPoint" contract="qtswsdl.QTSPort" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="qtswsdl.QTS_ServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647" />
<serviceThrottling maxConcurrentCalls="2147483647"maxConcurrentSessions="2147483647"
maxConcurrentInstances="2147483647" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
So when I try to send SOAP messages to "http://host.com/service.svc/ForHh" Im getting a "HTTP 400 - Bad Request" (the /ForCp is also not working)
I tried with custom clients, with WcfTestClient.exe and I was not able to fin what is happening
Any tip or suggestion?
Thanks for your time
EDIT:
After enable Svc trace I got a couple of exceptions:
<Message>The message with Action 'http://Host.com/Service.svc/ForHh' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. This may be because of either a contract mismatch (mismatched Actions between sender and receiver) or a binding/security mismatch between the sender and the receiver. Check that sender and receiver have the same contract and the same binding (including security requirements, e.g. Message, Transport, None).</Message>
Funny thing is that I'm sending the SOAP request programatically. It's my understanding that if I'm sending SOAP request programatically i don't need to define any contract because it is being send using SOAP 1.1 by default.
Code that sends the request is the following code:
private string SendRequestAndGetAnswerFromWebService(string methodName, string requestXml){
StringBuilder soapRequest = new StringBuilder("<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"");
soapRequest.Append(" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" ");
soapRequest.Append("xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"><soap:Body>");
soapRequest.Append(requestXml);//Body
soapRequest.Append("</soap:Body></soap:Envelope>");
WebRequest webRequest = WebRequest.Create(#"http://Host.com/Service.svc/" + methodName);
HttpWebRequest httpRequest = (HttpWebRequest)webRequest;
httpRequest.Method = "POST";
httpRequest.ContentType = "text/xml; charset=ascii";
httpRequest.Headers.Add("SOAPAction: " + #"http://Host.com/Service.svc/Service.svc/" + methodName);
httpRequest.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version11;
httpRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
httpRequest.Timeout = 7000;
httpRequest.ContentLength = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetByteCount(soapRequest.ToString());
Stream requestStream = httpRequest.GetRequestStream();
//Create Stream and send Request
StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter(requestStream, Encoding.ASCII);
streamWriter.Write(soapRequest.ToString());
//Send the request
streamWriter.Close();
//Get the Response
HttpWebResponse wr = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.GetResponse();
StreamReader srd = new StreamReader(wr.GetResponseStream());
string resulXmlFromWebService = srd.ReadToEnd();
return resulXmlFromWebService;
}
Maybe my assumption about contract and soap messages sent programatically are wrong...

Generally, this is very bad practice -- you should NOT be manually authoring SOAP requests to WCF services this way. It is better if you were to take advantage of the out-of-the-box WCF request/reply paradigms instead of resorting to setting up headers manually.
What I would recommend is to create an alternative example where you DO achieve the same thing out-of-the-box (with perhaps DataContracts, OperationContracts, and ServiceContracts on the client-end, perhaps taking advantage of WebHttpBehavior and WebHttpBinding). Examine the exact messages that are sent and received in that scenario, and closely examine, character by character, how those messages are different from the ones you're sending here.
Also, it's hard to tell what else you could be doing wrong from just the detail you've provided.
Here is what I suggest:
Enable tracing on the service side, generate tracing logs, and analyze with SvcTraceViewer. To do this, follow the instructions at this MSDN article on using the service trace viewer. Notice what's different between the first and second time.
Turn on debug exceptions. This is done by turning in includeExceptionDetailInFaults, which you can do by following the instructions here. Notice what's different between the first and second time.
Use Fiddler to monitor the wire traffic on both the client side and the service side.
Generally, once you do this, you should plenty of more info on what's going funky at the service side and can diagnose the issue pretty quickly. Try it, and please report back! :)
