AtrributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

Running Ubuntu 18.04 Installed docker and built docker image and installed python dependencies but same error on both when attempting to run with a proxy.

Oh hmmm...

From http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/api/?highlight=proxy

It seems that the proxies argument needs to be a dictionary of proxies, but it seems that a single string is being passed.

This seems to be accounted for somewhere in maltrieve.py, so I'm not 100% sure why it's breaking, I should try running it locally and see if I can debug / submit a fix.

Yeah its odd. I have tried even running with the option formatted like a dictionary so:

'"ip":"port"'

but no matter how I try to format it I get the same error

The requests documentation says:

proxies = {
  "http": "10.10.1.10:3128",    # use http://10.10.1.10:3128 instead
}

# In requests 1.x, this was legal, in requests 2.x,
#  this raises requests.exceptions.MissingSchema
requests.get("http://example.org", proxies=proxies)

So in my command I have used:

-p "http":"127.0.0.1:1111" -p "http://127.0.0.1:1111"

but these have not worked either, producing the same error?
