Haha! Too true!
Back to the drawing board I guess. :D
It really just depends on what you're trying to do though. The bug
apparently only affects stylesheets, and the whole reason I'm assuming
you'd want to use the protocol-less syntax is to have shared assets
between http and https versions that are cached even when moving from
insecure to secure. If you can live with the tiny overhead of just
having the stylesheet recalled twice, it's not a huge deal imho (not
optimal, but not a deal-breaker). If you're holding all the files you
reference (like css) one the same server anyway, a simple
"/path/to/stylesheet.css" path relative to the root of the current
server will work fine and avoid the double download...so really, the
only issue (when you'd want to use "//foo.com/stylesheet.css") is when
you want to reference a stylesheet from another domain using the same
protocol as the one you're currently using...an edge-case, I'd argue?
P
Dang, I am still undecided about weather or not I should adopt this
technique! On one hand, the no-http site was very convicing as to why
one should stop using HTTP... On the other hand, if IE can't get it
right...
Anyway, thanks all for the interesting thread!
