title: What is the default WCF Binding?
body: <p>I've been struggling for a few days with <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6186663/cant-send-wcf-service-request-as-soapxml">this problem</a>, learning a lot of things on bindings in the process.
  One thing puzzles me, though: various links (see <a href="http://leowu70.blogspot.com/2010/09/wcf-error-request-failed-with-http.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> or <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WCF/HttpBinding.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">that</a> for example) explicitly state "By default, WCF project is created using WsHttpBinding", but that's not what I see.
  This is what I do:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Open Visual Studio 2010 and choose New Project / Visual C# / WCF Service Application</li>
  <li>Don't touch anything inside the code, set a local IIS Url for the service (say <a href="http://localhost/WcfService7" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/WcfService7</a>)</li>
  <li>Open soapUI and choose File / New Soap UI Project / enter the url of the newly created wsdl: <a href="http://localhost/WcfService7/Service1.svc?wsdl" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/WcfService7/Service1.svc?wsdl</a>, not touching any other option</li>
  <li>Interface properties: SOAP Version = SOAP 1.1, Binding = "BasicHttpBinding_IService1" (even though it's just a name, it's a hell of a hint)</li>
  <li>Open Altova XmlSpy and choose SOAP / Create new SOAP Request / enter the url of the wsdl / select any operation</li>
  <li>SOAP / Change SOAP Request parameters / Ensure that "Send as SOAP+XML (SOAP 1.2)" is checked</li>
  <li><p>SOAP / Send request to server:  i get the errors</p>
  
  <p>HTTP error: could not POST file ‘/WcfService7/Service1.svc’ on server ’localhost’ (415)</p>
  
  <p>Error sending the soap data to ‘<a href="http://localhost/WcfService7/Service1.svc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/WcfService7/Service1.svc</a>’ HTTP error: could not POST file ‘/WcfService7/Service1.svc’ on server ’10.51.0.108’ (415)</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any explanations? Thanks</p>
