This is a "normal" error. Check out the way the check if Tor proxy is up:
......
// Detect whether a proxy is connectable and is a Tor proxy
func CheckTorProxy(proxyAddress string) ProxyStatus {
// A trick to do this without making an outward connection is,
// paradoxically, to try to open it as http.
// This is documented in section 4 here: https://github.com/torproject/torspec/blob/master/socks-extensions.txt
client := &http.Client{Timeout: 2 * time.Second}
response, err := client.Get("http://" + proxyAddress + "/")
if err != nil {
switch t := err.(type) {
case *url.Error:
......
So they are doing a get request, as stated in that comment, treating it as if it was a http proxy in order to check if it isn't haha I usually just get torproject tor check site but I guess their idea was a bit nicer since you didn't have to make a request into the internet anywhere and kept stuf local.
Long story short, you can ignore that. It is a side effect of that little workaround.
Been running
onionscan --verbose --torProxyAddress=localhost:9050 wooo.onion
results in
Tor is 100% bootstrapped
