Links send by EEVBLOG notification not complete
« on: April 02, 2017, 05:44:27 pm »
This is another minor issue with https links send via email:

Prior to "https", the notification links send is complete ("http://www.eevblog...etc...) and can be clicked-and-go.  The new notification links send now is without the "https:" before the "//" looking like ("//www.eevblog...etc...).  Depending on the email reader, the old link would click and go, but the new link will go nowhere.  Not a big deal, one can always cut&paste that into the address bar.  But, I suppose you may want to look into that to make it more inviting.

Actual cut&paste of old and new with bold added to point out the delta.
Old (pre https):

Great job!  The "http:" prefix is back.  Problem gone.

Thanks!

You're welcome, this was due to SMF's inability to handle running either 100% on HTTPS or 100% on HTTP, we had to make a temporary compromise to keep things working while I wrote a patch for SMF to make things work right.
