"Get /login: unsupported protocol scheme "" " when trying to target API endpoint "https://api.dev.cfdev.sh"

[sourzseven]

• [x] I reviewed open and closed github issues that may be related to my problem.
• [x] I tried updating to the latest version of the CF CLI to see if it fixed my problem.
• [ ] I attempted to run the command with CF_TRACE=1 to help debug the issue.
• [x] I am reporting a bug that others will be able to reproduce.

Provide details on what you were trying to do (and why). Trying to use PCF Dev for a while now (tried every single version that is available with different pcf dev plugins - on W7, W8, W10, Linux). I made it work on Windows 10 by using pcfdev-v1.2.0-windows.tgz(https://network.pivotal.io/products/pcfdev#/releases/339789) and CF CLI v.7.20 (https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/releases/tag/v7.2.0).

Expected behavior Trying to target API endpoint: "https://api.dev.cfdev.sh" and receiving the following message: Get /login: unsupported protocol scheme "" FAILED

Exact Steps To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior; include the exact CLI commands and verbose output:

1. cf login -a https://api.dev.cfdev.sh --skip-ssl-validation (https://docs.pivotal.io/pcf-dev/usage.html) Provide more context

• platform and shell details ( e.g. Mac OS X 10.11 iTerm)
• version of the CLI you are running
• version of the CC API Release you are on

Hi @sourzseven , as suggested by that warning, I believe you're using a newer CLI version (v7+) with an older API version. I believe you should use a v6 CLI with the API version you're targeting.

I have almost the same issue with cf7 login, this is my process to solve it, hope it helps.

cf7 login -a https://api.sys.np.paas.covapp.io API endpoint: https://api.sys.np.paas.covapp.io

Get "login-cf.sys.np.paas.covapp.io/login": unsupported protocol scheme "" FAILED

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/capi-release/blob/develop/jobs/cloud_controller_ng/spec

under api job:

login.protocol: description: "http or https" default: "https" login.url: description: "URL of the login server" login.enabled: default: true description: "whether use login as the authorization endpoint or not"

the login.url must be set to: https://YOUR-LOGIN-URI

why I was wrong as I set it with out "https://"

https:// is what was missing in me, thanks a lot!
