Svcutil.exe metadata showing incorrect path in the browser

Question

We created a wcf service with two endpoints one for http for internal users and the other for https for external users.

When the service is viewed in the browser using https , svcutil.exe metadata path is pointing to http instead of https. Moreover, I am not able to add this service through service reference screen as well. I configured the wcf service like in the link. How to correct the svcutil.exe path.

Show us some code. Service contract definition, app.config details, etc. — Lukas Kubis, Mar 11 '14 at 14:45

Its need some extra effort in your web.config to enable get metatdata via https, say add 'httpsGetEnabled="true"' in element serviceMetadata.

<behaviors>
  <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior>
      <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
    </behavior>
  </serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>

Then the metadata path would be correct.
