Hello,
Well, yes proxy only handle plain http. Tunnel is one that can handle ssl. Idea is to make a tunnel be able to decode ssl and make it visible, which can not be done with proxy. Usage is also different, while to use proxy you need to set global preference proxy ( host, port, etc ), for tunnel you set port, end point and certificate in case you are using ssl( this is not necessary in case of plan http) and send request to tunnel not web service server. Tunnel will send request to ws server and get back to client( soapUI ).
So, to set up tunnel, set port ( ex. 8081 ), endpoint ( https://www.abcd.com/soap/externalService ) and certificates. Than send request to https://localhost:8081. That should be it..
Let me know does it helps,
robert
