Inconsistent response from the WCF service

Question

I have a WCF service that is hosted in IIS7, this service is just a wrapper of another service, so what it does it calls the actual service then return a response which is then passed on to the client. The issue that I'm having is that I send a request and it returns data, when I send another request with the second then I get the below error: Please will you share some light on what could be a problem here.

Instead of pasting the contents of the error page, post the *code* that generated the exception. Try debugging your code, add exception handling to log any exceptions. Since the call stack contains `TaskAwaiter` it's very likely an error occured in an asynchronous method that didn't have an exception handler — Panagiotis Kanavos, Feb 19 '16 at 13:08

It's a REST service? A SOAP service?? I think that you're not handling the exception in the service, so you're getting the default response from IIS, which is a web page.

You should handle the exception in the service and return an object (or XML) containing the exception details.

If it's an invocation error, you should try to custom handle incoming requests on the service.

Or maybe this could help Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: site
