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.

I have a RESTFul WCF service and it needs to be deployed now. I am really confused whether to deploy in windows service or IIS 7. I need to implement SSL also so the protocol would be HTTPS. It is just a simple service consumed by client using HTTPS protocol.
Please let me know which one is better.
Your question seems to have been asked (and answered) previously.
The following link provides a good discussion:
IIS WCF service hosting vs Windows Service
If your RESTFul WCF Service needs to be accessed via http (or https) protocol, then deploy in IIS7.
Since i am new to WCF and Having configured a WCF service endpoint in IIS at Virtual Directory Api ( url goes like
http://localhost/api/taskapi.svc)
i was looking for ways to make request through web browser something like
http://localhost/api/taskapi.svc/GetCompleted
would respond with returnd data .I know this requires the binding of web service with the webHttpBinding but i don't know how to do it any help would be great ?
Use WCFSVGHoST application to test WCF applications. Application enables you to key-in parameters value and execute method of your interest.

In a WCF REST service, hosted in IIS 7.5, .NET 4.03 or maybe 4.5...
is it possible to configure a .svc-less (file-less, extensionless) ServiceRoute in the web.config alone, without creating a Global.asax for RouteTable.Routes.Add, without IIS tricks, without HTTP modules, and not a RoutingService?
Thanks
No. The alternatives for svc-less, webhosted WCF services are the ones you listed. The most common ones are using the routing (RouteTable.Routes.Add) or IIS address rewriting (via a module). You could in theory write a "pure" ASP.NET project which forwards the requests to the .svc endpoint, but that is just a routing service in disguise.
I have an asp.net 4 application that hosts a WCF REST service via WebServiceHost...
WebServiceHostFactory factory = new WebServiceHostFactory();
routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("mss", factory, typeof(ModuleStorage)));
My application has a custom authentication module and requires IIS Anonymous access. I also have Windows Integrated so that I can debug my application.
The issue I am having is the WebHttpBinding created by the WebServiceHost does not support having two authentication methods enabled in IIS. I can turn off Win. Auth. and it works but I can not debug.
So my question is... Can I enable WebHttpBinding to support both or can I somehow enable debugging without Win. Auth.
This service must be hosted as part of the application and I need a way to debug it.
Try debugging WCF REST Service using Fiddler, see the following links for more informations :

Depends what you are trying to debug. You could always trace the WCF service using SvcTraceViewer. Here is the config you can use on the server.
I ended up using ASP.NET Web API. I have to say so far I am a big fan!

I'm using IE8 and can't connect to my WCF service using net.tcp. I'm able to access the same service with http binding just fine. I got two binding enabled in app.config (net.tcp, http). Can anyone tell me if there is a settings that I need to set/play with for viewing service using net.tcp in IE.
You cannot connect to a WCF service using the netTcpBinding through IE.
What you need is a "real" WCF client app, or something like WCF Test Client which is shipped with WCF in the box - just find it and start using it!
Make sure you have a HTTP base address, for your service and a mexTcpBinding endpoint.
