Can I use wsHttpBinding along with webHttpBinding in a WCF service?

Umais ASGHAR asked:

Open original thread
I have a custom username-password WCF service that needs to be called by Windows client (Winforms application) as well as by Web client (html/aspx page). I have two endpoints declarations in web.config but, to make it work, I have to comment one of them and so, only the client type, associated with that un-commented endpoint, can access the service. If I un-comment that, and comment the other one, other client can access it. I can't keep both of them and so I can't access it from both types of clients.
HTML
<service behaviorConfiguration="Behavior1" name="BeST.Service.Service">
    <endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="BeST.Service.IService" behaviorConfiguration="EndpBehavior"></endpoint>
    <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="Binding1"
     contract="BeST.Service.IService" />
    <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
    <host>
      <baseAddresses>
        <add baseAddress="http://localhost/" />
      </baseAddresses>
    </host>
  </service>

just as the code shows, I need to use both endpoints (above two endpoints) if I want to make this service work for both clients OR, if there's another way to have it done, please help!
