weird stripping in request data (http://google.com -> http:/google.com)

[mutaku]

urls that are encoded get passed to /ur/encoded_url
the encoded_url always yeilds:
http://google.com -> http:/google.com

// -> / for some reason.
admin interface submission is fine (right to model) something is just off with lighttpd+request parsing !?

could manually look for this and adjust but that's kinda meh and doesn't solve the issue:

stump_split = list(this_stump.partition(":")) if stump_split[1] and not stump_split[2].startswith("//"): stump_split[2] = "/"+stump_split[2] this_stump = ''.join(stump_split)

The fix isn't best (as listed above) but works. Will close for now.
