WCF Service Operation - GET Fails with 404

Question

I have a WCF service which works on my dev machine running IIS 7, but my coworker is running IIS 5.1 (XP). He can view the service in a web browser when he navigates to the service page, but if he tries to call an operation or navigate to it in his web browser he gets a 404 error.

I had him run ServiceModelReg -i, but that didn't change anything. I had him navigate to the .svc?wsdl page and the method is listed there. But when he tries to navigate to the method (it uses the WebGetAttribute) IIS returns 404. Any ideas?

Update

The problem only happens if he is running the site from IIS. If he loads the project using the Visual Studio Web Server (cassini) it works fine.

I don't think the issue is with the service itself, but just in case here it is:

    [ServiceContract]
public interface IPFDClientAuthentication {
 [OperationContract]
 [WebGet(UriTemplate="/Logon?username={username}&password={password}",
  BodyStyle=WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedResponse,
  ResponseFormat=WebMessageFormat.Json)]
 [JSONPBehavior(callback="callback")]
 bool Logon(string username, string password);

 [OperationContract]
 [WebGet(UriTemplate = "/Logout",
  BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedResponse,
  ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
 [JSONPBehavior(callback = "callback")]
 bool Logout();

 [OperationContract]
 [WebGet(UriTemplate="/GetIdentityToken",
  BodyStyle=WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest,
  ResponseFormat=WebMessageFormat.Json)]
 [JSONPBehavior(callback= "callback")]
 string GetIdentityToken();
}

Here's the web.config:

<system.serviceModel>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
<services>
 <service behaviorConfiguration="PFD.AuthenticationService.PFDClientAuthenticationBehavior"
      name="PFD.AuthenticationService.PFDClientAuthentication">

       binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="clientBinding"

   </identity>
  </endpoint>

 </service>

Answer 1

Add a wildcard mapping in IIS on the XP machine. Map *.* to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll and uncheck the "Verify File Exists" checkbox.

Depending on the format of your REST urls, you may need to put .* instead of *.* (do your URLs look like directories or like files?)

Answer 2

Try adding /soap at the end of the service URL.
