Hi Rupert -
Yes, it is all the same box and am able to make a SOAP/HTTP request successfully in the browser. The firewall is set to accept SoapUI and the Proxy is set to automatic.
I wondered if the [brackets] were part of the problem, but as these were populated into the function by SoapUI, I saw them as out of my control.
I understand what you are saying about SoapUI not a source for learning SOAP fundamentals. The following is why I am trying SoapUI:
All I am interested in is building a SOAP client interface with one .../site_path/APIService.asmx?wsdl
I have the API reference guide and am struggling with how to properly interface with WSDL structure elements through the SoapClient (a PHP method/application).
I came across a site that seemed promising in moving me along here (http://devzone.zend.com/2202/php-and-soap-first-steps/) -- which uses SoapUI as part of its training. ... So this is why I turned my attention to SoapUI.
Thanks so much for your responses and attention to trying to help me. Many kudos to you!
If you see anything in this post that triggers some possible solutions I would be most grateful. I have been working on this for 5 days now.
Blessings on you.

Hi tjay,
Ok, sorry, just checking about the browser etc being on the same box.
One thing on the proxy settings, is that I tend to use NONE or MANUAL in the case where there is a proxy, rather than automatic.
Other than that I can only suggest testing SoapUI on a different box, possibly on your home network e.g. no proxy or briefly disabling the firewall - sometimes virus checkers can also affect things.
Thank you very much for the appreciation, but I would feel better if I was able to help you solve the issue. I do hope you are able to find whats blocking SoapUI, as it would be a shame if you get put off due to the connectivity issue.
And when you hopefully find the issue, please post what it was, as it could help others.
Thanks,
Rupert

Hi Rupert -
Silly me. The source of the "WSDL" spoke as though I had to use SOAP. I have used PHP for over 12 years now and had created many APIs parsing XML files into arrays. But I was persuaded in this instance that I had to use SOAP and hadn't tried anything else.
But as I was analyzing one of the "incomplete" returns that I should try my old tried and true PHP stuff as I had always been using it -- and sure enough it was smooth and quick sailing.
Thanks for your valiant attempt in trying to get SoapUI working on my machine - but as it turns out, I don't really need it as of yet.
The best of things to you!

Hi tjay,
No, problem, shame we couldn't fix your problem though. As long as you're happy, thats the main thing!
Hopefully if/when you do need SoapUI, we can get it working for you, as it seems to work quite well for that WSDL/service...
Best regards,
Rup
