[Mono-list] Using svcutil to generate WCF proxies

[Atsushi Eno]

Oops, I missed the first post. So, hello,

There were couple of bugs around ServiceMetadataBehavior (support for wsdl).
WCF in trunk has a couple of fixes with related to this kind of issue.

Though there still likely are other issues. I have written some notes on how
WSDL support in both simple ServiceHost and ASP.NET is done (and how they
are messy :/ ) at
http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewvc/trunk/mcs/class/System.ServiceModel/HTTP_listener_notes.txt?view=co

A possible workaround for your issue is to use non-empty HttpGetUrl such as
  "/wsdl" which will expose WSDL at .../foo.svc/wsdl instead of 
../foo.svc?wsdl .
