Since we are moving away from http as an accepted protocol, when you enter a web address without specifying a protocol, the URL should default to https. For example, if I enter a Web URL as example.com The resulting URL should be https://example.com In version 7.3.3.2 it defaults to http://example.com
True, currently LO is defaulting to http instead of https. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open Writer 2) Type www.somesite.com and press Enter 3) Writer will automatically format as a URL hyperlink 4) Right-click it and go to Edit Hyperlink 5) The URL will be http://www.somesite.com/ Instead it should be https://www.somesite.com/ Repro with Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: cb83063cc0eb4e93bd44bc0cb9b7c4841230cdef CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: pt-BR (pt_BR.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded And with Version: 7.3.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 30(Build:2) CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: pt-BR (pt_BR.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.21.10.1~lo1 Calc: threaded
Actually this is happening not only in Writer, but in Calc, Impress and Draw as well.
I thought this might be a super easy one to find, but so luck so far. I searched for INET_HTTP_SCHEME, '"http://' and PROT_HTTP. Likely changing it will break a lot of internal stuff that just expects http, like unit tests or other non-LAN interactions.
