WCF returns error 400 bad request

Question

I have a wcf method that always returns the error 400 - bac request.

This is the interface:

[ServiceContract(Namespace = "https://Services.xxx.com", ProtectionLevel = System.Net.Security.ProtectionLevel.None)]    
public interface IAttachmentService
{
    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "GetApplicationEntity/{appToken}/{appCode}/{entityCode}/{userName}", Method = "GET", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml)]
    XmlDocument GetApplicationEntity(string appToken, string appCode, string entityCode, string userName);
}

This is the method:

[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)]
public class AttachmentService : IAttachmentService
{
    public XmlDocument GetApplicationEntity(string appToken, string appCode, string entityCode, string userName)
    {
       //The debugger doesn't even get into this method
    }
}

I've tried calling this method in 2 different ways:

public XmlDocument GetApplicationEntity(string serviceURL, string appToken, string appCode, string entityCode, string userName)
{
    WCFClientProxy<Attachment.Interfaces.IAttachmentService> proxy = new WCFClientProxy<Attachment.Interfaces.IAttachmentService>();
    return proxy.Instance.GetApplicationEntity(appToken, appCode, entityCode, userName);
}

And

public XmlDocument GetApplicationEntity(string serviceURL, string appToken, string appCode, string entityCode, string userName)
{
     HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(requestUrl);
     request.Method = "GET";

     using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()))
     {
         XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
         doc.LoadXml(reader.ReadToEnd());
         return doc;
     }
}

I'm using basicHttpBinding like this:

<basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="higherMessageSize" transferMode="Streamed" maxReceivedMessageSize="9223372036854775807"
             closeTimeout="00:10:00" openTimeout="00:10:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00" />
</basicHttpBinding>

with this endpoint on the server side:

<endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding"
          bindingConfiguration="higherMessageSize"
          contract="Interfaces.IAttachmentService" />

and this rnd point on the client side:

<endpoint address="http://localhost:54893/AttachmentService.svc"
                binding="basicHttpBinding"
                bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IAttachmentService"
                contract="Interfaces.IAttachmentService"
                name="BasicHttpBinding_IAttachmentService" />

What am I doing wrong here that it always returns this 400 bad request error ?

Answer 1

Well I've forgot that call the WCF service using the proxy allows to pass only 1 object and in order to pass several string I solved it like this:

public XmlDocument GetApplicationEntity(string serviceURL, string appToken, string appCode, string entityCode, string userName)
{
    try
    {
        string requestUrl = string.Format("{0}/GetApplicationEntity/{1}/{2}/{3}/{4}", serviceURL, appToken, appCode, entityCode, userName);

        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(requestUrl);
        request.Method = "GET";

        using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()))
        {
            XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
            doc.LoadXml(reader.ReadToEnd());

            return doc;
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return null;
    }
}

and changed from basicHttpBinding to webHttpBinding . Here are my config files:
