I've been trying to create a simple WCF RESTful web service, but it seems to work only in SOAP mode. I'm hosting my service with the local IIS.

It looks really standard:

```
[ServiceContract]
public interface IMyService
{
    [OperationContract]
    Guid Login(string username, string password);
...

```

and:

```
public class MyService : IMyService
{
    [WebGet(UriTemplate = "login?user={user}&password={password}", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
    public Guid Login(string username, string password)
    {
        return Guid.Empty;
    }

```

I also included the behavior in the config file and was using it in:

```
<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="MyService" behaviorConfiguration="webHttp"/>

```

according to all of the examples I know...

Now the thing is when invoking the login from a stub client which uses ServiceReference, it looks just fine in Fiddler, but it is SOAPy.
From some reason I cannot invoke my service in a RESTy way, even the /help seems to return a 400 Bad Request.
(I'm invoking <http://localhost:8080/MyService.svc/help> or /login etc.)

What is preventing the REST to take action?
Thanks in advance :)

**Edit: I found an answer.**

It turns out one must define **Routings**...

After adding this to Global.asax :

```
    protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("MyService",
           new WebServiceHostFactory(), typeof(MyService)));
    }

```

It went through just fine.

Plus I earned that the ".svc" is now not part of the URL.
