Unable to add WCF service hosted in azure - web-services

Question

I hosted one WCF service on server
http://firstdomain.com/WebStorePrice/PickStorePrice.svc
which was running on my machine. Now i hosted this to new server as azure service and when trying to add Service reference i am getting the error
There was an error downloading 'https://service.azurewebsites.net/PickStorePrice.svc/$metadata'.
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'https://service.azurewebsites.net/PickStorePrice.svc'.
There was no endpoint listening at https://service.azurewebsites.net/PickStorePrice.svc that could accept the message.
This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
webconfig of wcf service looks like
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WebStorePrice.PickStorePrice" behaviorConfiguration="cstmServiceConfig">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WebStorePrice.IPickStorePrice"/>
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="secure">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/>
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="cstmendpointConfig">
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="cstmServiceConfigOnline">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
<behavior name="cstmServiceConfig">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>

<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
</system.serviceModel>

From the service configuration, our service doesn’t support Https protocol since Azure docker(Paas)server communicates over Https by default. Therefore we should configure an extra service endpoint for supporting WCF over https.
For Soap style web service, please refer to the below configuration.
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https"/>
<add binding="basicHttpBinding" scheme="http"/>
</protocolMapping>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
In regard to WCF Restful style service.
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior>
<webHttp />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="mybinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None"></transport>
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="webHttpBinding" scheme="http"/>
<add binding="webHttpBinding" scheme="https" bindingConfiguration="mybinding"/>
</protocolMapping>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
Feel free to let me know if the problem still exists.
