Dear Experts,

I am very new to SFDC and trying to understand some basic features.

I tried to call a sample outofbox Login Web service to generate a session token which can be used for calling custom webservices.

I took the Enterprise WSDL from Setup-Develop-API and imported that in SOAP UI.

While calling this web service I was trying to hit the following URL : https://login.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/25.0

But this call was getting blocked with following exception : ERROR:java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.http.message.BasicHttpRequest cannot be cast to org.apache.http.impl.client.RequestWrapper

When I tried to hit the HTTP url (not HTTPS) request was going through but getting following error UNSUPPORTED_CLIENT: HTTPS Required. This means that request was going through but HTTPS was expected. I tried to suppress the setting for HTTPS but could not do so because I am using a developer edition(Administration Set Up ->Session Settings -> Require Secure connections)

I need to know can I make a HTTPS call from SOAP UI to a salesforce webservice? If so what extra settings are needed ?

Below is my soap request:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
   <soapenv:Header>
     </soapenv:Header>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <urn:login>
         <urn:username></urn:username>
         <urn:password></urn:password>
      </urn:login>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Much thanks in advance for help.

Regards,

Anchal
