LinkChecker is not working

[OvaisAlam]

Hello, The LinkChecker is not working. When closed, it gives a message to see the log (which is pasted in this issue).

Using LinkChecker 9.3 (GUI) and Python 2.7.11 on Windows 7.

• I have used the installer present on your website to install LC.

****** Oops, I did it again. *****

You have found an internal error in LinkChecker. Please write a bug report at https://github.com/wummel/linkchecker/issues and include the following information:

• the URL or file you are testing
• the system information below

When using the commandline client:

• your commandline arguments and any custom configuration files.
• the output of a debug run with option "-Dall"

Not disclosing some of the information above due to privacy reasons is ok. I will try to help you nonetheless, but you have to give me something I can work with ;) .

Mine was a proxy issue... message should be clear.

@jpfreire
I am sorry, I didn't got you.

[jpfreire]

I had the same issue you found, but mine was a proxy problem. LinkChecker should more clear about that. It was not an installation, nor file access permission issue, as it may seem because most of messages says "couldn't find file, trying this instead" As per last message: AttributeError: 'HttpUrl' object has no attribute 'proxy_type' worked things out for me.

[OvaisAlam]

Thank you for replying!

How did you fix that proxy error? *I also working behind a proxy.

[OvaisAlam]

No, I was unable to find any solution.
