When I enter the address of my service, I get to see the WSDL file. However, When I add a suffix to the URL, I get the error message: "endpoint not found". It's definitely due to something wrong with my service model declaration but after a few hours, I'm inclined to admit that it's beyond me.
I've made sure that the namespaces are correct as discussed here.
The first URL works. The other, don't.
http://---.azurewebsites.net/MyService.svc/
http://---.azurewebsites.net/MyService.svc/Ping
http://---.azurewebsites.net/MyService.svc/Ping/ (as suggested here)
In behaviors I've declared two behaviors - one for the end point and one for the service.
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="PingEndPointBehavior">
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name ="PingServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"
httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
<behavior name="">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"
httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
I declared the following binding for access via URL line in the browser.
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding></webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
In services I declared two end points (I tested with only the first one, as well).
<service name="MyProject.MyService"
behaviorConfiguration="PingServiceBehavior">
<endpoint name="PingEndPoint"
behaviorConfiguration="PingEndPointBehavior"
address="Ping"
binding="webHttpBinding"
contract="MyProject.IMyService"/>
<endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange"
binding="mexHttpBinding"
address="mex" />
</service>
I also have the following in my config file. Doubtful of its significance, but one never knows.
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"
multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true"/>
