The provided URI scheme 'http' is invalid; expected 'https'. Parameter name via

I get this error at a WinForms app which looks to an .asmx for interact with the data and everything beyond itself. The end of the app.config file looks like so:

   <system.serviceModel>
   <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
         <binding name="BulkServiceSoap">
            <security mode="Transport" />
         </binding>
         <binding name="BulkServiceSoap1" />
      </basicHttpBinding>
   </bindings>
      <client>
         <endpoint address=" http://localhost:3908/BulkService.asmx"
               binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BulkServiceSoap"
               contract="BulkUploadService.BulkServiceSoap" name="BulkServiceSoap" />
      </client>
   </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

 
 

The http://localhost:3908/BulkService.asmx is a replacement for the production .asmx which has an https address. I just changed bindingConfiguration="BulkServiceSoap" to bindingConfiguration="BulkServiceSoap1" to dumb down the security. Do you see why? This tipped me off suggesting WebHttpSecurityMode.Transport was the villian.
