soapUI can't access the Internet.

I am using a *.pac file for the proxy settings and SoapUI fails to connect to the internet. Following is the issue details.

Issue: SoapUI can't access the Internet.
Description:  soapUI is unable to access the Internet. This might cause some issues when doing Web Service Testing.

If you know that you need Internet Access in order to do Web Service Testing, please check you Internet Connection.

Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
vj

    I too have noticed the change between version 2.n and 3.n and now 4.n.

    Some of these replies indicate and dare I say assume a need for experience and knowledge beyond the scope of my experience. I am attempting to connect with web services via a specific interface application and have used the local features of the soapui to validate wsdls to accomplish a build.

    i would like to access a web server directly now and the inability to access "the internet" via soapui, or determine exactly what I need to configure is a challenge as this is not my area of technical experience and knowledge.

    if anyone could give a few brief tips on how to compare against mozilla or IE etc for proxy settings I would certainly appreciate it.

    I don't know if this still helps: I had the same issue with SOAPUI 4.5.1 (64Bit) on Windows 7. I am behind a proxy.

    The only fast and easy help i could find was: add a hosts entry to the windows hosts file for your proxy IP (e.g. 192.168.1.123 proxyname) and add "proxyname" as proxy server in SOAPUI. Worked as a charm for me.

    This solved the proxy issue for me. I was having problems with SOAPUI on Windows 7.1 also, and came across this post. After I added the proxy IP it worked perfectly. Thanks a lot.

    I couldn't import a WSDL file, and I had the proxy set up correctly (we could see SoapUI making requests for the start page through it).

    The problem was that my WSDL file had to be retrieved via HTTPS (i.e. https://soap.server.com/service?wsdl) and SoapUI seems to ignore the proxy for HTTPS URLs.

    http://www.soapui.org/Working-with-soapUI/preferences.html#Proxy%20Settings%20Tab seems to hint at as much, describing the "Host" of the "Proxy Settings Tab" as "The HTTP Proxy host to use".

    If I put in the URL with [tt:1a0mqes7]http://[/tt:1a0mqes7] instead of [tt:1a0mqes7]https://[/tt:1a0mqes7] I could see SoapUI trying to communicate through the proxy, although it didn't work beyond that (obviously).

    Had the same issue. After setting the obvious proxy setting and trying out numerous other solutions, I reverted back to v4.5.0 and it worked fine for me.

    I've got the same problem, or perhaps the exact opposite problem because I'm using a Mac and I'm trying to reach a local test server. I need a proxy for the outside world, but not for the server I'm trying to reach.
    Everything can reach this server, except for SoapUI on my Mac. Co-workers with Windows have no trouble reaching it with SoapUI. I have the exact same settings they have. I'm using SoapUI 4.5.1, and so are my co-workers. My proxy settings in SoapUI are empty. My global proxy settings have an exception for the server I'm trying to reach.

    I'd really love to know what's causing this problem.
