Hello,  
when i try to load service functions from wsdl i get an Exception. I think it has something to do with the structure of the wsdl or the imports? I dont know how Katalon tries to parse wsdls internally.

I changed the names of the services and urls, cause they are only for internal purposes.

**Here is the log:**

Hello,  
thanks 🙂

I looked further into it myself. I found some weird behaviour, that seems to come from me sitting behind a corporate proxy.? I have adjusted the Proxy-Config in Katalon. I use the same configs as on IntelliJ for example. THere everything is working properly.

So, first of all, when i download the wsdl and use the “import from wsdl”-feature, i get the error that katalon cant find the xsl-files, that are imported in the wsdl. I can download them manually and put them into the folder where the wsdl is. After downloading all the needed xsl-files i can finally import the wsdl. So in my case Katalon is not able to automatically download the xsl-files from the import-statements.

When i send the request i get the following error:

 ![error_meta_tag](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/f/ff39a97eed7863c85b2327eeb4c2fbfeea7e4212.png)

The german text says: elementtype “meta” must end with the ending-tag .

**LOG** :  
[meta\_tag\_error.txt](https://forum.katalon.com/uploads/short-url/sWTwopf45eN37s3KtnZVbvG2bjV.txt) (5.7 KB)

I have absolutly no idea where this is coming from. With SoapUI and other tools i never get this message. I cant find such a tag anywhere.

So i hit a wall and thought “ok, lets begin small”. So i installed Kattalon on my own pc (without proxy) and created a test with this Testservice: [Calculator Web Service](http://www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx)

Everything works fine. When i try this on the corporate machine, i can load the service functions (so proxy kinda works?!), but i get a weird behaviour when using the “Load new Cntent”-Feature.

**This is how it looks like on my own pc** :

 ![katalon_calc_private_ok](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/0/0574112ec6faecbe522f0156f90e66fab1f14a42.png)

**This is how it looks like on the corporate machine** :

 ![katalon_calc_corp_notok](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/5/58b63239652bc3d51d56d46e4de69ecd7633b4b2.png)

The Request message is different?! But why?  
And when sending the request with numbers like 3 and 4 i get the following error:

 ![Warning_calc](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/d/d23f418c72e243e6f82b22e68fbb5a270e4ef94a.png)

**LOG** :  
[calc\_log.txt](https://forum.katalon.com/uploads/short-url/soDcBIURSlJxgEJEDZm5mTHDmXX.txt) (1.7 KB)

I know this is a LOT OF TEXT, but i have no clue how to fix this. I dont even know if its only a proxy problem, or maybe also something in Katalon? Maybe you had similar issues with other firms/customers and these informations can help?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi @Adrian.Skirzynski,  
Please help by trying once again the above experiments with Katalon Studio versions before 7.5.0, then tell me the results. Thank you.

Hey,  
im using the standard approach by providing an address, port and authentication for the Proxy Server.
