Thank you for the update @pmuellr .
@srescio thanks for commenting on the issue. In web development there is a
common use case for omitting the scheme in a URL altogether to work around
domain-based security restrictions implemented in the browser. A URL without a
scheme (e.g., "//my.domain.com/resource") will resolve to an HTTP url on a page
loaded over HTTP, and an HTTPS url for a page loaded over HTTPS. This type of
reference is called a "network-path reference", or sometimes a
"protocol-relative URL". You can read more about it at
http://www.paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url/ , or see the original
spec at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2. The change in the pull
request should make this usage possible.
Thanks
Sam
