  1. PO404 BadRequest exposing WCF service through external IP using IIS host headers
    text
    copied!<p>We host a WCF webservice on Windows Server 2003. This server only has 2 internal IP's. We want to expose the service externally. This is done through the firewall that maps an external IP to the service.</p> <p>So, I would need to modify the service to display that external IP for the internal links. This is not an issue since it should only be used externally.</p> <p>Changing the Host Header value in IIS gives a 'Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)' response from IIS. I also added an 'address' value to the endpoint entry in the web.config ... but it sill just points to the internal machine name. Any ideas?</p> <p>edit: I can verify that IIS7 has the exact same behaviour. Address didn't work. Different hostname gave Invalid Hostname error. Is there seriously no way to present a different (fictive) IP? :/</p> <p>edit2:</p> <pre><code>&lt;system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;bindings&gt; &lt;basicHttpBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="BasicAnonymous"&gt; &lt;security mode="None"/&gt; &lt;/binding&gt; &lt;/basicHttpBinding&gt; &lt;/bindings&gt; &lt;behaviors&gt; &lt;serviceBehaviors&gt; &lt;behavior name="Extended"&gt; &lt;serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/&gt; &lt;dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483646"/&gt; &lt;/behavior&gt; &lt;/serviceBehaviors&gt; &lt;/behaviors&gt; &lt;diagnostics&gt; &lt;messageLogging logEntireMessage="true" logMalformedMessages="false" logMessagesAtServiceLevel="false" logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true" maxMessagesToLog="3000"/&gt; &lt;/diagnostics&gt; &lt;services&gt; &lt;service behaviorConfiguration="Extended" name="AnCWCFWebService.ProductInfoProvider"&gt; &lt;endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" name="ASMX" bindingConfiguration="BasicAnonymous" contract="AnCWCFWebService.Interfaces.IProductInfoProvider"/&gt; &lt;/service&gt; &lt;/services&gt; &lt;/system.serviceModel&gt; </code></pre>
