Enable net.tcp binding support in IIS 7.5

To optimize the performance of a WCF service I built, I decided to change the binding from wsHttpBinding to netTcpBinding.  So I added a second endpoint in my WCF configuration configured to use the netTcpBinding. After deploying the updated application to IIS I got the following error:

“Could not find a base address that matches scheme net.tcp for the endpoint with binding MetadataExchangeTcpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http].”

Starting from IIS 7.0 other protocols then HTTP are supported. As I was using IIS 7.5 this couldn’t be the problem.

I found out that one extra step is required: you need to add the net.tcp binding to the binding of the application in IIS.

How can we do this?
  • Open the Internet Information Services Manager.
  • Right click on the virtual directory/application in IIS.
  • Choose Manage application -> Advanced settings.

  • In the Enabled Protocols part add net.tcp(separated by a comma) and that’s it.

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
