[Mono-list] WCF service on mono

[Nadeem Backus]

Thank you for getting back to me, I have found what was causing the issue:

My WCF service uses the following configuration:

  <services>
      <service behaviorConfiguration="mexbe"
name="Example.Scheduling.Scheduler.Services.SchedulerService">
        <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding"
contract="Example.Services.Contract.Service.ISchedulerService" />
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange" />
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress="http://localhost:10000/Example/Scheduler/" />
          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
      </service>
    </services>
  </system.serviceModel>

this configuration works fine under windows (this is a .Net 3.5
Application), but under mono this configuration fails with a bad
gateway (400) error.

The solution was to use the IP address of the network (eth0
-192.168.35.2) for example, because localhost and 127.0.0.1 all fail
with the bad request error. It would nice to be able to use localhost
as it is generic thus making deployment onto multiple machines easier.

Thanks for your hard work.
