upload streaming to WCF IIS 7 hosted service not working

Question

I have a wcf service I am setting up to run under IIS 7. I have the service set to streaming for the transfermode. When I self host the service in a console application every thing seems to work ok. But when the client connects to an iis hosted service it seems to be buffering, and the client eventual times out. I have used fiddler to determine that this client time out happens before the http request is even made.

Here is the servers binding.

var binding = new CustomBinding();
            binding.Elements.Add( new TextMessageEncodingBindingElement()
            {
                MessageVersion = MessageVersion.Soap12WSAddressing10
            } );

            var secBinding = SecurityBindingElement.CreateUserNameOverTransportBindingElement();
            secBinding.AllowInsecureTransport = true;
            binding.Elements.Add( secBinding );
            binding.Elements.Add( new HttpTransportBindingElement()
            {
                TransferMode = TransferMode.Streamed,
                MaxReceivedMessageSize = Int32.MaxValue,

            } );

And the client binding:

var binding = new CustomBinding();
            binding.Elements.Add( new TextMessageEncodingBindingElement()
            {
                MessageVersion = MessageVersion.Soap12WSAddressing10
            } );

            var secBinding = SecurityBindingElement.CreateUserNameOverTransportBindingElement();
            secBinding.AllowInsecureTransport = true;
            binding.Elements.Add( secBinding );
            binding.Elements.Add( new HttpTransportBindingElement()
            {
                TransferMode = TransferMode.Streamed,
                MaxReceivedMessageSize = Int32.MaxValue,
                MaxBufferSize = 400
            } );

As an aside the connection is timing out because the stream is infinite and the server should read the first few bytes and then close the stream.

Answer 1

Are you closing the Stream in the client? If true, try closing just in the service side. Also, verify if its a OneWay operation. Can you post the both binding nodes, for the endpoints?
