Pony Request - is it possible to automatically fix broken URLs that omit the "http://"? [more inside]

Apparently MetaFilter and my cellular internet connection aren't playing nice with each other. Is it me or is it MeFi? [more inside]

When posting this, it wouldn't accept https: in the URL field. At the time, the server was forwarding from the comparable http: URL, so I didn't worry about it. Now, it's deciding not to forward.

(Double, anyway, so it could also just be deleted--but I wanted to mention the https issue too.)

Bug report: MeFi has suddenly started relying on IP addresses to identify users. A coworker just emailed me with a screenshot which showed that he had my session (he has no account but was identified by my username). Loading the blue just a second ago, I myself was identified as a certain milnak whom I do not know (but that person is located very close to me geographically). The unifying thread seems to be that we work for a certain large software company and thus all access MeFi through the same outgoing HTTP proxy.

And yes, I know, I should get back to work instead of reading the blue, etc, etc.

Side note: metatalk still identifies me correctly as blindcarboncopy.
