SOAMANAGER - HTTP connection

Release 731 Level 6 (SAP Basis Component)

After manually configuring (without WSDL) a logical port through SOAMANAGER, I notice no HTTP connection gets created within Administrative Information Tab (Logical Port Settings). Why?

I try and Ping Web Service and get following error. How do I resolve this issue? I have looked at multiple notes with no luck.

Error:

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 ”)

Fyi... I removed verbiage after URL.

Thanks
