I suggest two possible solutions by order of preferences. 1. Fallback mechanism to add automatically the missing protocol information. Maybe, plus a gentle message like "Please, next time provide http://" 2. A gentle message: "You have not given a complete URI, we need you to add http://" Though it is not very helpful from a usability point of view. 27980 1 jean-gui 2009-10-01 17:08:15 +0000 http:// is now automatically appended. Nice messages are displayed if the URI has an unsupported protocol.
