[SSL] WCF, The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large

Our file upload module was working fine with WCF when SSL was not enabled, but it gives "The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large." while SSL enabled. Our entire wcf configuration section is defined here where it has max maxreceivedmessagesize to 2147483647.
