Missing config for Witti Prysm beacon

[handelaar2]

The Prysm beacon config only shows --web3provider ws://127.0.0.1:8546
This is incomplete as currently Prysm uses both ws and http.

Only specifying the above can lead to issues, as the http parameter will default to "https://goerli.prylabs.net"
(resulting in 2 different eth1 sources potentially being different)

So if you specify localhost on port 8546, you also have to specify:
--http-web3provider="http://127.0.0.1:8545" \

Details around issue in Prysm rep : prysmaticlabs/prysm#5826

damn, I thought one API is enough. why would it require both??

[handelaar2]

Websocket gives performance issue->switch to http for past logs (prysmaticlabs/prysm#2295)
result:
past logs: http
future logs: ws subscription

#5826 initiates a change (hopefully) to http only.
(see discussion at bottom of that issue)

Not sure if this will work. It now says:
--http-web3provider ws://127.0.0.1:8545 \

should be:
--http-web3provider http://127.0.0.1:8545 \

Can confirm that it does not work with ws:// instead of http://
