Mhh but it looks like your service endpoint cant accept webform data.. Please post your binding config, or check messageEncoding property on binding. — Frix33, Jul 18 '16 at 11:02

@Nemo I suggest you to look at the last comment in this link - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26625191/http-415-cannot-process-the-message-because-the-content-type-application-json It says use webHttpBinding instead of basicHttpBinding for JSON Hope it may help — Gandhi, Jul 18 '16 at 11:57
@gandhi, tried your given solution but the service is not accessible.. — Nemo, Jul 21 '16 at 12:56
