Peter,
Thanks! I figured out the workaround, but didn't have a way of doing
bulk changes. Great to have a fallback if webserve.ca takes too long to
come to its senses. There are probably thousands of wiki pages by now
that have the http:// string included.
Much appreciated.
...in fact I hadn't looked at your tool before, and it certainly looks
like it would be useful as a general system management tool.
Thanks again.

So suddenly none of my websites can post external links (with

thousands of pages
that have this protocol embedded are suddenly uneditable.
Obviously this is a hosting problem and they should fix it, but a workaround
is possible if the (http:)//www.example.com syntax works. This WikiSh
script would replace all occurrences of http:// with (http:)// in all pages
in the group Test.
sed -i 's/http:\/\//(http:)\/\//' (grep -l 'http:\/\/' Test.*)
(This would be put directly into the control panel)
Presumably you could do the same with *.*, but you may want to test it out a
bit at a time. You can do a single file or 2 or 3 like this:
sed -i 's/http:\/\//(http:)\/\//' (grep -l 'http:\/\/' Test.Page1
Test.Page2)
If you want to do several groups at a time you could do this:
sed -i 's/http:\/\//(http:)\/\//' (grep -l 'http:\/\/' GroupA.* GroupB.*)
If you want to see which files are going to be changed ahead of time you
could do this:
grep -l 'http:\/\/' Test.Page1 Test.Page2
Hopefully that gives enough examples to get things started in the right
direction. Obviously a search/replace on potentially every page in the
entire site is a *big* deal and whether that's the right move for you is
your decision. I'm just giving you a way to do it if it works for you...
(As usual the most recent version of WikiSh.php is necessary -- I discovered
some inconsistencies in the way I was handling escaped slashes with
search/replace and so that is fixed only in version 2008-03-23.)
