Topic: [Bug/Fixed](Issue #530) DText links drop www when they are http and not https.

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

This topic has been locked.

Bug overview description.
@savageorange: Bug: Certain http (not https) urls get mangled in forum posts (and possibly comments , haven't tested that)

Example:
Both of the following links contain www. You should be able to see it in the link text in both cases:

http://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html
https://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html

However, hover over them and check what they actually link to: for the http:// one, the www has been stripped off, causing a 404 error when you try to go to it.

This appears to apply whether the link is inline or not.

What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?
DText

What is the expected behavior?
www should not be removed from http links.
What actual behavior is given instead?
www is removed on http links.
Time of incident. (If applicable)
N/A

Can you reproduce the bug every time?
Yes.

What steps did you take to replicated this bug?
N/A

Errors or other messages returned. (If any)

Bug confirmed. Assigned internal ID #530.

Fixed, pending merge and then deploy.

EDIT: Fixed in deploy of 1.1.0 on 2016-08-02.
