Hi Josef,
for soapUI 4.5 we switched to an updated HTTP stack (httpclient 4.x) - this is unfortunately more strict in its URL handling and thus does not accept | as part of a URL - just as defined in the specification for URLs (RFC 1738, Dec. '94):
"...Only alphanumerics [0-9a-zA-Z], the special characters "$-_.+!*'()," [not including the quotes - ed], and reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used unencoded within a URL."
On the other hand - soapUI should URLEncode these pipes unless you have the "preencoded endpoints" option selected in the global HTTP options - do you!?
regards,
