SoapUI: Connection refused when accessing mock SOAP API

Hi all,

I've got a working WDSL file, and going to http://localhost:8088/myservicename?WDSL displays that WDSL file.  All is working fine up to that point.

However, if I write a simple python script like this, which should display the list of available methods

    from suds.client import Client
    client = Client('http://localhost:8088/myservicename?WDSL')
    print(client)

I get a "Connection refused" error.  The same happens if I try to call a specific function specified in the WDSL file, or if I type `wget http://localhost:8088/myservicename?WDSL` at the command line.

To me, the obvious answer was that for some reason I couldn't connect to that port.  I tried adding a rule to Windows Defender Firewall to permit any traffic to port 8088, but still experienced the same problem.  I also tried turning off the proxy in SoapUI, but again still get the same "connection refused" error.

I'm sure this is a very basic, n00b question but I've exhausted all the help I could find in the documentation and on StackOverflow!

[nb: I've used the same address as it mentions in the soap:address element in the WDSL response.  I did think it was maybe that I was using the wrong address, but that's not it either!]

All the best

Algy
