Hey there.

Thanks for the report! Were you using a different version of SonarQube before, and if so did you only start to experience this when using SonarQube v9.8? I ask because this version as just released.

It would be great if you could move the log level up to DEBUG (sonar.verbose=true) and report back the logs.

Just started using sonaeqube and went to latest version. I resolved the issue few hours ago and will update status here shortly. The proxy server was not forwarding query string parameter. I changed the settings and it started working. Took a while to find the root cause.
