compressing external links

Closed this issue · 3 comments

I've noticed many sites uses 'http://' to start external links when '//' is 
shorter and seems to work fine cross-browser.

I tried to find some info about this and couldn't. I guess I can add it for 
those who know what they are doing. 

I am not sure though inside which tag properties it is safe to remove the 
protocol ("href", "src", anything else?)

href and src are the two big ones. The only other one I can think to consider 
would be url('http://...') inside css.

I just tested the css shortening and it worked in IE7, Chrome10 and Firefox3.6
