Parameterize protocol for Web Service Request Object

Hi Katalon team,
Our company is trying to make auto tests using Katalon and we found one issue. We have different environments with enabled or not TSL and it would be great just to switch a certain profile where we store URLs in order to run test cases without any further changes. Currently it’s not possible, cause we can’t include protocol part of URL to global variable without getting the following error during the run:
com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Unable to send request and verify the response (Root cause: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol.

It’s a big restriction for us to proceed with Katalon. Please consider to fix it with a high priority.
Thank you in advance

P.S. I found a similar topic, but it’s quite old and nothing changes since that time:

Hi @Dmitriy,
Which version of Katalon Studio are you using?

Hi @huynguyen,
I’m using version 7.2.1

Hi @Dmitriy,
I’ve tried on KS 7.2.1 but no issue found. The request was sent successfully.


Could you send us a screenshot to see your variable input in the URL field?

Hi @loantran1,
Thank you for the reply and support. Not sure what was wrong with my previous version, but after the update to 7.3.0 I don’t have this issue anymore.
