Rendering ftp links as http when not formatted

(1/3) > >>

Gryzor:
Hello!

Today I realized, through a user's complaint, that when you enter an ftp address without using the ftp tag, it gets formatted as an http link.

For instance, if I enter ftp. smf. org it will give  a link like http:// ftp. smf. org .

Shouldn't the system be able to differentiate between the two protocols and serve an appropriate rendering?

Cheers

Well, I didn't post it under Bugs because I didn't think it was one - just a suggestion on my part... but thanks for moving it nonetheless :)

Gryzor:
Hey! Nothing? Noone? Am I the only one experiencing this?

i tried this ( Using windows 7 opera 10.60)

ftp.smf.org

and the url browser converted it to

ftp://ftp.smf.org/

Gryzor:
I'm using Opera too (10.60/10.70), but I don't think it's a browser issue?

At least I'm not the only one :)
