This is a known problem. When we specify a URL for an event, the natural thought would be to cut and past a URL into the text box. But Drupal will automagically prepend http://.
This is nothing more than one of those (very minor) hicups, from the change in exec. Those of us who have been posting the events were aware of this, and now there are new folks doing this. They probably learned this one now.. :) BTW - in the past when this came up, Konqueror would show a Drupal "page not found" message, in our template. Whereas Firefox and others would do a redirect....
