    initial v1  
    1 @desrosj this ticket was created 3 years ago, at a time when people were starting to mass-migrate all their sites from http to https.
     1@desrosj this ticket was never about relative URLs, it was about stripping the protocol from db-stored URLs.
     2It was created 3 years ago, at a time when people were starting to mass-migrate all their sites from http to https.
    23The fact that we're storing the URL protocols in the db usually requires changing a lot of things and causes massive issues when a site changes its protocol. If on the other hand we were not storing http/https when saving a URL in the db, most of these issues would be a thing of the past.
    34For example try switching an http site with a slightly complex theme and a dozen plugins to use SSL... Images are usually the first thing to go when loading a page on such a site 'cause the browser just blocks them since they're getting loaded using the http url. Or at least that was the case back then, I haven't checked in the past couple of years so maybe something has changed.
