wp-comments-post strips http:// from author url for logged in users

[gbhugo]

When a logged in user comments, the wp-comments-post code stripps the ​http:// from her URI before writing the cookie. Next time around the commenter produces a broken URI.

And of course it's not adminstration but general and it is for 1.5 :-/

Too bad one can't edit the bugreport itself (at least I didn't find an obvious way to do so).

This was fixed a couple weeks ago in CVS.

I doubt that it was fixed weeks ago - because it is in the just released tar.gz ...

The clean_url() filter should add the ​http:// back. Stripping it in the first place is indeed needless, but clean_url() should correct it.

When the stripping was in, I had the following effect: when going to the comment form, the normal URL was shown. After posting the comment, the URL was changed - and in the comment form it was presented without leading ​http:// - so at least this will irritate users, even if the ​http:// is added on the next comment. I think the URL should be left untouched in the process so that the cookie contains the full URL.

Okay. Fixed.
