[Bug 37721] Auto creation of an URL prefixes URL with protocol

[Loe Spee]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gaim (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
When typing an URL in GAIM and posting it (in my case over the MSN
network) the receiver of the message gets the URL prefixed with the
protocol prefix and "://".

Example:
I type: "Here is the public FTP site ftp.nluug.nl"
The recipient sees: "Here is the public FTP site ftp://ftp.nluug.nl"

Not a big issue, but I was having a discussion with someone about not
needing to include the prefix and he said like this "ftp.nluug.nl" and I
received it as "ftp://ftp.nluug.nl". Which kept me wondering :)
