WCF authentication over https

Question

I have a WCF service that is using https to communicate and json for the response format. I don't want my methods to be available to anyone so i change the authentication in IIS from anonymous & basic to just basic.

So far, the browser is asking for user and pass but i get the following error :

Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https].

What do i have to change to my endpoint to work with authentication ?

My web.config looks like :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0" />
  </system.web>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <webHttpBinding>
        <binding name="restBinding">
          <security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
            <transport clientCredentialType="Basic" proxyCredentialType="Basic" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </webHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <services>
      <service name="ContactLibrarySecure.ContactLibraryService">

This config file solved my problem. I changed from basic to windows authentication, after i installed windows authentication in iis.
