ChannelFactory with WebHttpBinding always POSTs while executing a ServiceContract OperationContract - channelfactory

Question

I have a service that is hosted via WebServiceHost and I need to delegate some of the calls to other REST services on the web.
I built a ClientBase concrete class to handle this. The flow looks like this:
http://localhost:8000/users/my#email.com -> My WebServiceHost instance -> ClientBase -> REST service
Everything was working well, until I realized that ALL calls coming from ClientBase were using POST as the verb. In order to make sure I wasn't doing anything silly with ClientBase I built a ChannelFactory manually and used that. No luck, every call still used POST regardless of ClientBase, ChannelFactory, and even ServiceContract decorations.
I then started isolating code and realized my simple ChannelFactory worked when the original call wasn't coming from within a request my WebServiceHost was handling.
Here's a distilled Program.cs that exhibits the exact problem, the MakeGetCall() from Program.Main works as intended, but the call from MyService.GetUser will always POST:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Program.MakeGetCall(); //This works as intended even when changing the WebInvoke attribute parameters
WebServiceHost webServiceHost = new WebServiceHost(typeof(MyService), new Uri("http://localhost:8000/"));
ServiceEndpoint serviceEndpoint = webServiceHost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IMyServiceContract), new WebHttpBinding(), "");
webServiceHost.Open();
Console.ReadLine();
}
public static void MakeGetCall()
{
ServiceEndpoint endpoint = new ServiceEndpoint(
ContractDescription.GetContract(typeof(IMyServiceContract)),
new WebHttpBinding(),
new EndpointAddress("http://posttestserver.com/post.php"));
endpoint.Behaviors.Add(new WebHttpBehavior());
ChannelFactory<IMyServiceContract> cf = new ChannelFactory<IMyServiceContract>(endpoint);
IMyServiceContract test = cf.CreateChannel();
test.GetUser("test");
}
}
[ServiceContract]
public interface IMyServiceContract
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
UriTemplate = "/users/{emailAddress}")]
string GetUser(string emailAddress);
}
public class MyService : IMyServiceContract
{
public string GetUser(string emailAddress)
{
Program.MakeGetCall(); //This will ALWAYS POST no matter if you are using [WebInvoke(Method="GET")] or even [WebGet]
return "foo";
}
}
