This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol

I had this problem "This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol" and the WCF service would shut down (in a development machine)

I figured out: in my case, the problem was because of Enums,

I solved using this

    [DataContract]
    [Flags]
    public enum Fruits
    {
        [EnumMember]
        APPLE = 1,
        [EnumMember]
        BALL = 2,
        [EnumMember]
        ORANGE = 3 

    }

I had to decorate my Enums with DataContract, Flags and all each of the enum member with EnumMember attributes.

I solved this after looking at this msdn Reference:

I think there is serialization problem, you can find exact error just need to add below code in service config in <configuration> section.

After config update "App_tracelog.svclog" file will create, where your service exist just need to open .svclog file and find red color line on left side panel which is error and see its description for more info.

I hope this will help to find your error.

<configuration>

<system.diagnostics>
    <sources>
      <source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging" switchValue="Warning, ActivityTracing">
        <listeners>
          <add name="ServiceModelTraceListener" />
        </listeners>
      </source>
      <source name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="Verbose,ActivityTracing">

Update: If you will not able to find updated "App_tracelog.svclog" file then please find "<some GUID>App_tracelog.svclog" like "a39e3026-5dd8-4d39-842a-04d486615eedApp_tracelog.svclog"
