WebHttpBinding Security Question - wcf

Question

I have created a RESTful Service and implemented the Authentication. It accepts username and password and then grants access to the service requested. It Works fine. Now I want to use SSL on top of my Service. For this I Created Certificate, Then In IIS I gave the required settings. But my service is not working. I am using webHttpBinding.
my Web.Config on service side is :
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="TestAPI">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="https://localhost/AuthWithSSLTest/API/TestAPI.svc" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="RESTFriendly" bindingConfiguration="MywebHttpBinding" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="ITestAPI" >
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
<client /><bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="MywebHttpBinding">
<security mode="Transport" >
<transport clientCredentialType="Certificate"/>
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="RESTFriendly">
<webHttp />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
<serviceCredentials>
<clientCertificate>
<authentication revocationMode="NoCheck" />
</clientCertificate>
<serviceCertificate findValue="CN=tempCertClient" />
</serviceCredentials>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
And In my client side app.config I have
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="NewBehavior">
<clientCredentials>
<clientCertificate findValue="CN=tempCertClient" storeLocation="LocalMachine" />
<serviceCertificate>
<authentication certificateValidationMode="PeerTrust" revocationMode="NoCheck" />
</serviceCertificate>
</clientCredentials>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="WebHttpBinding_ITestAPI">
<httpTransport/>
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://localhost/AuthWithSSLTest/API/API.svc/TestMethod"
behaviorConfiguration="NewBehavior" binding="customBinding"
bindingConfiguration="WebHttpBinding_ITestAPI"
contract="TestAPI.ITestAPI" name="WebHttpBinding_ITestAPI" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
When I try to Run Client, it says Provided URI scheme Https is invalid, http required.
Also when I try to invoke the Web Service from VS2008, it says "Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http]."
if I try to run the web service from IIS, it says "Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https]."
I have tried googling and tried all the suggested things, but no awail. Please Help.
Thanks in Advance,

In your client configuration, try changing:
<httpTransport/>
to:
<httpsTransport/>
