Proxy settings prevent sending attack requests

[mopotopo]

I work on the commit c8b0b7f892d7734b1860d6ebb8e839a12e414a0e and I want to attack a webservice via 'XML Element Count Attack'. But the attacker doesn't send any requests.

At wsattacker.plugin.dos.dosExtension.requestSender.RequestSenderImpl.sendRequestHttpClient(RequestObject) line 284 I reactivate the log.

What I see is:

Jun 12, 2019 10:38:06 AM wsattacker.plugin.dos.dosExtension.requestSender.RequestSenderImpl sendRequestHttpClient
SEVERE: null
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Scheme 'http' not registered.

I think, that the proxy settings 'http' is breaking the rules.

I think the proxy implementation is somehow buggy.
Do you use a Proxy (e.g. Burpsuite)?

You can start WS-Attacker using:

java -jar -Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8800 -Dhttps.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttps.proxyPort=8800 WS-Attacker.jar

I guess the problem appears, once the configuration.xml is written and you restart WS-Attacker.
Since I always use a proxy, it works fine, but if you don't, there might be an error (?).
