If you redefined the AUTO_LINK_RE to support protocols other than HTTP, bad links are generated. In the auto_link_urls code it checks if there is an http in the generated href and if there isn''t it prepends one. If you''re using auto_link_urls on, for example, ftp:// links, instead of <a href=" ftp://example.com">ftp://example.com</a> , you get <a href="http:// ftp://example.com">ftp://example.com</a>. This patch adds a test and changes the code to check for any protocol instead of just http before prepending the default. This patch is against the 2-3-stable branch.
