SoapUI “failed to load url” error when loading WSD

Question

I keep having some weird problems. The main one is that I keep getting the following error when trying to add a WSDL to a new project:

Error loading [https://.../token?wsdl]: java.lang.Exception: Failed to load url; https://.../token?wsdl, 0 -

Here's the message recorded in the error.log file:

java.lang.Exception: Failed to load url; https://.../token?wsdl, 0 -

I verified that the application at that URL is up and running, and I can get to the WSDL from a web browser, but I keep getting this error message no matter what. I am using SoapUI 4.5.0 (32-bit) on a Windows 7 box. I've also tried the 64-bit version with the same results. It happens whether I am on VPN or not.

Do you know why I might be getting this error?

Answer 1

I had this error and in my case, the problem was that I was using "localhost" in the URL.
I resolved that changing the localhost word for the respective IP, (Windows + R -> cmd -> ipconfig) then read the IP and write it to the URL replacing the "localhost" word
