When uploading an OVA as a vApp Template using a URL as a source, the upload fails with the error:Error: [ ########-####-####-####-########d47e ] Argument ' https://example.com/<ova name>' is not a valid URL. Illegal character in scheme name at index 0: https://example.com/<ova name>
VMware Cloud Director 10.x
This issue occurs when there is a blank space character at the start of the URL being used as a source for creating a vApp template.
Ensure that there are no illegal characters, such as a blank space character, at the start of the URL being used to upload the OVA.
