WSDL parsing exception: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: White spaces are required between publicId and systemId.

When trying to create consumer by setting Producer WSDL URL http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wsrp/specifications/version1/wsrp_v1_bindings.wsdl the following Exception is thrown in server.log file (this is all done from EPP 5.2.1):

It seems the error might be caused by the fact that the WSDL URL redirects to an https URL.
