2010-09-29 11:41:20 - Error getting response; java.net.Unkno

Using the documentation from 'Example - Centralized Endpoint' section of http://www.soapui.org/Functional-Testin ... rties.html, I defined the project property holding the Service Endpoint. Also Configured the endpoint to use this property via property-expansion. I do see the requests are using the configured endpoint. but when I run the request, I am seeing the following:

2010-09-29 11:41:20 - Error getting response; java.net.UnknownHostException: https

When I replace the endpoint in the request, it works fine.
Here is how I defined the project property:

'ServiceEndpoint' and the value is https://test.domain.com:3009

https://${#Project#ServiceEndpoint}/restof the path.wsdl

I do see the same in the request, but when executed it fails.

Need help.

Thanks.
