Add the web service reference but cannot see it in object browser and the client class is not generated

Question

I was trying to add some wcf services to my console app in VS Express 2013. I added all services to Web References successfully. For some services from the third party, I can see them in Object Browser and the client class was generated. For services I created, I cannot see them in Object Browser and the client classes were not generated. I read these (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d2bc41df-20ee-4fc1-9807-1cd21dee37f6/can-add-web-service-reference-but-cannot-see-it-in-object-browser-or-use-it and Why, when adding a service reference in VS2010, is the client class not generated?) and other posts but still cannot make it work. Here are the codes for the problematic service:

IFileProviderService.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;

namespace MyServices
{
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IFileProviderService
    {
        [OperationContract]
        [WebGet(UriTemplate = "/AppInstaller/{userID}/{fileName}/{os}")]
        Stream AppInstaller(string userID, string fileName, string os);
    }
}

FileProviderService.svc.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.ServiceModel.Activation;

namespace MyServices
{
    [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode =     AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
    public class FileProviderService : IFileProviderService
    {
        public Stream AppInstaller(string userID, string fileName, string os)
        {
        ......

        }
    }
}

Reference.cs

#pragma warning disable 1591

namespace ServiceTest.MyFileProviderService {

}

#pragma warning restore 1591

This service is running and working properly. Any help is appreciated.

The problem was fixed. It turns out the service has to be 'basicHttpBinding'in order to be accessible from the client. See Can't get WCF service's operations list with Web Service Studio client
