    Hey Stalsy,

    I think the problem is that the plugins arent updated each time a new version of ReadyAPI is released to support thr new version....hence the problem installing the plugin.

    Just as an aside, id alwaya disable the ReadyAPI Proxy setting whenever installing a plugin. Youre just adding a complication you dont need.

    For now only thing i can suggest if you really need to convert a postman collection is either create the collection contents manually ( i tend to do this anyway as i dont like the flat api structure of converted collections in ReadyAPI anyway) OR, downgrade your ReadyAPI to a version that supporta the current plugin, run the import to convert the postman collection into ReadyAPI and THEN upgrade back to latest.

I have the same issue.  The above message says: "Unable to install plugin: Connection timed out."

The messages I get are: "Unable to install the plugin: Connection reset" (when I set Proxy=off),

and: "Unable to install the plugin: Unable to tunnel through proxy.  Proxy returns "HTTP/1.1 504 Gateway Timeout" (when I have Proxy= ON (automatic)).

However, I was able to upgrade ReadyAPI from 3.6 to 3.10 just last week...
