Confusing error message when non-absolute base_url is set

[heull001]

2.19-fd8f195 doesn't work here. In the selfoss-logfile only the following Message appears: [2021-09-01 17:16:35] selfoss.ERROR: Undefined index: scheme

While running "php cliupdate.php" the following essages appear in the console: Undefined index: scheme [src/helpers/Authentication.php:39] Base->{closure}() [vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php:95] ReflectionMethod->invokeArgs() [vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php:69] Dice\Dice->Dice{closure}() [vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php:182] Dice\Dice->create() [vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php:95] Dice\Dice->Dice{closure}() [vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php:69] Dice\Dice->Dice{closure}() [vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php:182] Dice\Dice->create() [vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php:100] Dice\Dice->Dice{closure}() [vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php:69] Dice\Dice->Dice{closure}() [src/common.php:198] Dice\Dice->create()
[cliupdate.php:6] {closure}() An error occured, please check the log file “[...]/data/logs/default.log”.

This messages appear in the webserver-logfile too, when I try to open selfoss in the browser.

Currently I am using selfoss 2.19-3e93a10, this works fine.

Thanks for reporting. Do you by chance have base_url defined in your config.ini? Apparently, it currently does not seem to handle non-absolute URLs correctly:

This seems to be the problem, with base_url empty or set correcly it works. Thank you.

I think we need to at least add a check to warn when the URL is not absolute.
