Javascript proxy URL generated by .SVC file does not work under SSL.

Question

I have an ASP.Net web site deployed in IIS 7.5 with a file Cart.svc (used for Javascript access from the browser).

The javascript renders fine under non SSL but SSL causes it to halt. However, if you take the /js suffix off, it works, even under SSL. So it looks like there IS a process listening on SSL, it just does not like the /js suffix.

The server side error is;

WebHost failed to process a request.
Sender Information: System.ServiceModel.Activation.HostedHttpRequestAsyncResult/66851296
Exception: System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005): There was no channel actively listening at 'https://xxxx/ws/Cart.svc/js'. This is often caused by an incorrect address URI. Ensure that the address to which the message is sent matches an address on which a service

Update 2: Working config below

  <system.serviceModel>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
    <services>
      <service name="MySite.Website.Cart" >
        <endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="MySite.Website.CartAspNetAjaxBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="webHttpBinding" contract="MySite.Website.Cart" />
      </service>
    </services>
    <bindings>
      <webHttpBinding>
        <binding name="webHttpBinding">
          <security mode="Transport" />
        </binding>  
      </webHttpBinding>    
    </bindings>
    <behaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="MySite.Website.CartAspNetAjaxBehavior">
          <enableWebScript />
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>

Update: Original config below

  <system.serviceModel>
    <behaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="MySite.Website.CartAspNetAjaxBehavior">
          <enableWebScript />

Answer 1

Have you set your binding's settings to use Transport level security?

<binding name="xxx">
    <security mode="Transport"></security>
</binding>

If you can post your section, that would help.
