❔ Hosting CoreWCF service in AspNet Core (Kestrel). How do I validate the service is up?

The output contains notifications that 1) the Kestrel server is listening on the port I specified and that 2) there is an HTTP endpoint at the path I specified, e.g. '/Service' for the sake of the conversation. However I am unclear if the service object has been initialized without error. I am having trouble establishing an API call, with the connection abruptly disconnecting and a CommunicationException being reported on the client-side.

I also set up a /metadata endpoint and I am able to see the service metadata & add the service as a reference and generate a client in WCF.

Output:

info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[14]
Now listening on: http://127.0.0.1:8601
info: CoreWCF.Channels.ServiceModelHttpMiddleware[0]
Mapping CoreWCF branch app for path /Service

I want to understand to troubleshoot this thing.
