WCF WSDL location address Issue resolved when hosted over HTTPS with basicHTTPBinding

Image
Recently I was working on a WCF web service which needs SSL implementation using basicHttpBinding, so that the service remains inter-operable and cater to native clients. Everything was going well, I was able to host my web service over HTTPS (I will detail out the configuration for the same in section below). But when I deployed on Server, following errors were received when proxy is generated: " Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: " " The WSDL document contains links that could not be resolved."

Classic Start Button for Windows 8

After moving to Windows 8, one of the major issue faced by most of the traditional Windows users is the unavailability of Start Button / Menu. I tried to get use to Metro interface on my laptop (without touchscreen) but never got settled. I find it really tedious to see my development tools lost in the Metro Style window and thereafter every time I need to search the apps. I missed the classic start menu where all my install programs are well organized the way I used to see them. Because of my corporate policy, I am stuck with Windows 8. After searching on net, I did found a free software which brings the Start Menu back on Windows 8.  Classic Shell™ is free software that improves your productivity, enhances the usability of Windows and empowers you to use the computer the way you like it.
