Unintuitive appending

I have put in a link field in a node content creation form - that my users will use.

My userrs are bound to put all kinds of things in that field (knowing how whacky users can be).

But if they put in "www.SomeSiteOrOther.com", then a link gets created which is related to my own site and is totally nonsensical.

The intuitive response would be to create "http://www.SomeSiteOrOther.com"

The only solution seems to be to beg users to enter a full URL.... but I would rather that whatever they entered had a "http://" prepended... unless they have put it in themselves.

    I'll close this issue due to inactivity for 14 years and upcoming EOL of Drupal 7 in January 2025. While the project version for Drupal 7 will keep providing support for security issues and website breaking bug fixes for Drupal 7, we should try to minimize the open issues for Drupal 7 in the queue as much as possible. Thanks for the report and all the efforts in here. Feel free to re-open if you can provide a fix or found an additional related problem which increases the issue priority to "Critical" here.
