The problem is most likely with the web server that you are using to serve up the files. Cassini is known to have a problem with multiple dots in the URL. You can easily resolve this by switching to IIS Express. I just wrote an article on how to do that. It only takes a couple minutes (just read the opening couple sections - the rest is just advanced stuff) and I think it will fix your problem.

Here is a link to my article:

Make Web Development Easier with IIS Express[^]

And here is a link to the Stack Overflow question that talks about your issue:

This probably wont help and the suggestions by Tim is good, but sometimes you may want to actually modify the HTTP headers passed to the WCF service. You could then inspect the headers and obtain custom information such as email addresses.

An interesting article is Add Custom Message Header in WCF 4 Calls[^]

Another way (but probably a poor but dirty way) would be to replace all "." (dots) in the email with the character "~" (squiggle) and then in the service replace the "~" (squiggle) with "."'s. Again these approaches are probably not "best practice" but there are ways to skin a cat!!!
