Is it possible to use a SOCKS Proxy with SoapUI ??

I am trying to use a SOCKS Proxy with soapUI. Is this possible? It looks like it is only possible to use a http proxy. Please let me know. Thanks

Hi! 

 

I have the same problem. I do understand that SoapUI does not support socks proxy, however this is something that should be related to JVM. 

 

I tried to set the socks proxy programmatically by setting the system properties: 

 

System.setProperty("socksProxyHost", "20.20.1.1");
System.setProperty("socksProxyPort", "809");
System.setProperty("socksNonProxyHosts", "devops|localhost");  

 

However this does not work. And I do not understand why? We need this functionality to connect to the DB where we store the test results.  I tried the same code in a test sample running the same machine on Java 1.7 

 

Any view why this approach does not work?
