Q:

wcf: Error opening URL 'local:////star5/schema//STARTransport2005.wsdl'

I have created a wcf service consuming wsdl file. The wcf is secured with certificates which i have configured in web.config. The service have two methods one for pull and other to put. When I do a request using pull method it works but when i try to use put method i get the following error:

Error opening URL 'local:////star5/schema//STARTransport2005.wsdl'

Here is the configuration file(web.config)

A:

I have finally resolved the issue. The issue was i was missing the version number for service being called within the header of the request. When i gave the version number the error went away. This was quite a crazy error it was not pointing to the reason the error was coming. For those facing such an error, It merely occurs if you are missing something within the header of the request.
