Description

Currently web address field strip the schema and force all URLs to HTTP. This isn't valid depending on the destination and there isn't really any reason to strop the schema to begin with.

This should be done during the fieldtype refactoring.

Schemes should be restricted to valid ones.

http and https are sure valid ones.

javascript:...
file:... (e.g. could be misused for / etc / pass)

are very dangerous ones and should not be allowed.

A positive restrictive list for http and https is sure ok, rest I don't see any real application.

Right, only support for HTTP and HTTPS should be allowed.

Implemented in MR !1190

Only http and https schemes allowed. ALL others will be stripped. This is now more secure than previously as previously we only stripped mailto:, http://, and https://. If no scheme is supplied it falls back to http://.
