SoapUI "failed to load url" error when loading WSDL

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 -  at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.support.wsdl.UrlWsdlLoader.load(UrlWsdlLoader.java:184) at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.support.wsdl.WsdlLoader.loadXmlObject(WsdlLoader.java:121) at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.support.xsd.SchemaUtils.getDefinitionParts(SchemaUtils.java:535) at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.support.xsd.SchemaUtils.getDefinitionParts(SchemaUtils.java:524) at com.eviware.soapui.impl.support.definition.support.AbstractDefinitionCache.update(AbstractDefinitionCache.java:97) at com.eviware.soapui.impl.support.definition.support.AbstractDefinitionContext$Loader.construct(AbstractDefinitionContext.java:226) at com.eviware.soapui.support.swing.SwingWorkerDelegator.construct(SwingWorkerDelegator.java:46) at com.eviware.soapui.support.swing.SwingWorker$2.run(SwingWorker.java:149) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) 

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?

I have had the same problem. I resolved it by disabling the proxy in the SoapUI preferences. (source : http://www.eviware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=12460)

In my case the server were the service was installed was configured only for TLS. SSL was not allowed. So you have to update SoapUI vmoptions file by adding

-Dsoapui.https.protocols=TLSv1.2 

You can find vmoptions file under SoapUI installation folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.0.0\bin\soapUI-5.0.0.vmoptions 

OR change your server setting to allow SSL
