The content type text/html of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8)."

System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException was unhandled

Is this apparent what this error message would be caused by? This is from
the getting started sample wcf in the winfx sdk.
I see the web.config below is xml/utf-8 where is the text/html response
being generated?
The error occurs in the return base.InnerProxy.Add function in the generated
proxy (TChannel return type)
Where is this content type explicitly set (or is there a default type of
text/html? ) thx. -g

Got it to work. It's all in the web.config, app.config and ALSO
ASPNET_REGIIS.EXE as per the following.

Run "aspnet_regiis.exe -i" from the directory
"%windir%\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50215."

hazz,

Just some more basic information about the problem you were having:
Since your service wasn't working properly, an error page (web page that is)
was being generated and returned, that explains the exception you were
getting (since your client was just getting an error page back, which
content type is text/html, instead of the expected text/xml) , this is a
common eception when IIS/mappings are not properly configured, and hide the
actual error message, which you would have been able to see if you had used
a browser to issue the request.

I'm glad your problem is resolved, but I hope that gives you some more
information about the problem you were facing,
