soapUI can't access the Internet.

[enid_tester]

Running and demo-ing soapUI 3.6.1.

I believe the proxy here uses a Windows authentication scheme; I guess I don't really understand why that wouldn't be supported.

When I initially set up proxy settings, I was able to connect to the internet.

Then I changed them, then changed them back to the original.

No matter how many times I have saved the information in the UI - or edited prefs.js in the .JxBrowser folder - SoapUI will not connect to the Internet.

I guess I'll have to uninstall and reinstall if I want to add a WSDL outside the company's firewall, say for a sample project.

I think it's really weird that it worked initially, then stopped working.

Seems a lot of work just to get basic functionality up and running. I have to say this doesn't really bode well for our adoption of the tool.

Hi... I want know whether I can test a website using soapui. If Yes how should I do it. N if no can some one suggest some good testing tools for performance testing of a website..

I have been trying to get the SoapUI to work from behind the corporate fire wall for few weeks without success...

I tried a solution at http://www.soapui.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5028 but this did not work for me.

@mayakjoshi18 - JMeter is a useful tool for web performance testing.

It sounds to me like you want to do load testing of a website; that's indeed possible in soapUI. You might also want to have a look at loadUI? Here's how to get started with testing a website in loadUI.

I had this problem setting-up SOAPUI 4.0.1 in the office where the Internet was workign on my workstation. I did this and it worked...

Tools -> Preferences -> Proxy Settings

and cleared off anything there. When I ahd this problem, it was set to "localhost".

Thanks,

I too have noticed the change between version 2.n and 3.n and now 4.n.

Some of these replies indicate and dare I say assume a need for experience and knowledge beyond the scope of my experience. I am attempting to connect with web services via a specific interface application and have used the local features of the soapui to validate wsdls to accomplish a build.

i would like to access a web server directly now and the inability to access "the internet" via soapui, or determine exactly what I need to configure is a challenge as this is not my area of technical experience and knowledge.

if anyone could give a few brief tips on how to compare against mozilla or IE etc for proxy settings I would certainly appreciate it.

I don't know if this still helps: I had the same issue with SOAPUI 4.5.1 (64Bit) on Windows 7. I am behind a proxy.

The only fast and easy help i could find was: add a hosts entry to the windows hosts file for your proxy IP (e.g. 192.168.1.123 proxyname) and add "proxyname" as proxy server in SOAPUI. Worked as a charm for me.

This solved the proxy issue for me. I was having problems with SOAPUI on Windows 7.1 also, and came across this post. After I added the proxy IP it worked perfectly. Thanks a lot.

I couldn't import a WSDL file, and I had the proxy set up correctly (we could see SoapUI making requests for the start page through it).

The problem was that my WSDL file had to be retrieved via HTTPS (i.e. https://soap.server.com/service?wsdl) and SoapUI seems to ignore the proxy for HTTPS URLs.

http://www.soapui.org/Working-with-soapUI/preferences.html#Proxy%20Settings%20Tab seems to hint at as much, describing the "Host" of the "Proxy Settings Tab" as "The HTTP Proxy host to use".

If I put in the URL with http:// instead of https:// I could see SoapUI trying to communicate through the proxy, although it didn't work beyond that (obviously).

Had the same issue. After setting the obvious proxy setting and trying out numerous other solutions, I reverted back to v4.5.0 and it worked fine for me.

I've got the same problem, or perhaps the exact opposite problem because I'm using a Mac and I'm trying to reach a local test server. I need a proxy for the outside world, but not for the server I'm trying to reach.
Everything can reach this server, except for SoapUI on my Mac. Co-workers with Windows have no trouble reaching it with SoapUI. I have the exact same settings they have. I'm using SoapUI 4.5.1, and so are my co-workers. My proxy settings in SoapUI are empty. My global proxy settings have an exception for the server I'm trying to reach.

I'd really love to know what's causing this problem.
