7.5

Error

I received the following error while trying to run a WCF application built in Visual Studio 2013 running on a Windows 8 IIS 7.5 server.

The … does not have a Binding with the None MessageVersion. ‘System.ServiceModel.Description.WebHttpBehavior’ is only intended for use with WebHttpBinding or similar bindings.

Solution

With help from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh556232(v=vs.110).aspx and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7585363/why-does-my-wcf-service-give-the-message-does-not-have-a-binding-with-the-none, I edited my web.config file and added/changed it to include the bolded text. Basically, I was confusing SOAP and REST calls. The below is utilized for REST only, SOAP requires the basicHttpBindings.
