SOLVED: The provided URI scheme 'http' is invalid; expected 'https'. Parameter name: via

HTTPS worked, but now it complains if I change to HTTP...You receive the error message:

The provided URI scheme 'http' is invalid; expected 'https'.
Parameter name: via

… while using WCF to connect to an endpoint.

Probably you are trying to send a a username and password to authenticate although the connection is not secure (no HTTPS).

This modified binding should help:

<binding name="UserPasswordBinding">
security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
transport clientCredentialType="Basic" />
/security>
/binding>

    Another 2 years later comment. Was assigned an OOOOOOLD service which was using an HTTPS endpoint originally but I was rewriting it and needed to use HTTP to test locally. Got this issue and solved it in less than 2 minutes via google and this post.

    My endpoint was being set up in code rather than a config, but the same problem/solution holds.


    Thanks!
