Going from http to https, getting "Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding"

here's a problem I'm struggling with:
The configuration below used to work fine (site's binding was http, port 81). It fails now, after the site's binding was changed to be https, port 443 and use a valid server authentication certificate. The error message in Event Viewer is this:

 WebHost failed to process a request.   Sender Information: System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostingEnvironment+HostingManager/25652103   Exception: System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException: The service '/services/api/oauth2' cannot be activated due to an exception during compilation.  The exception message is: Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding.

It looks like it expects "oauth2" to be an application itself which has its own web.config while in just a part of a route. Can you please tell me what needs to be changed in the web.config above to make it work properly?
