Pinging web service not working

Hi All,

I am working on a Web service to RFC scenario. The complete scenario is as mentioned below:

Third party (Web service) -> XML Gateway (pass through) -> PI (Convert WS into RFC) -> ECC

This is a synchronous scenario. Third party here is also an SAP PI system. They are doing their configuration in SOA manager. They have created  a logical port for the proxy. The connection between third party and XML Gateway is fine as I checked via telnet.

Problem is that when third party PI system tries to connect (via 'ping web service' option), we are getting the following issue:

SRT Framework exception: Service Ping ERROR: Error when calling SOAP Runtime functions: SRT: Couldn't create Object: ("ICF Error when creating HTTP client object by Config for URL -----

I would like to check if connection is already set up and telnet working, might this be a network issue or some configuration being missed ?

Thanks,

Ravi.
