Account information page needs fixing

I found an interesting Faux pas on the website. If you want to add an URL for your Account Information, it is fully defaulted to http:// (enter your address)
This may work with most sites that auto direct to https, but some do not. Why not remove the static http:// and allow the user to enter a full URL?
Ignore my temporary name change when it happens at next stats push, just wanted to try something out.

Interesting. Browsed around. Saw that user walli seems to have an HTTPS link there. Has he hacked it? /JeppeSN | |

There seems to be a bug in the code.
The "https://www.seti-germany.de" is the result of having "https://www.seti-germany.de" set as the url, but as a downside, it reads "http://https://www.seti-germany.de" on my personal account page. The code checks if the url starts with "http" and adds "http://" as prefix if it's not found.
I'll take a look at it later. Thanks for the info :). | |

Should be fixed now. If you find any other places regarding this bug, please let me know. | |

Great, walli. I guess the same fix is needed on other BOINC sites, like https://boincvm.proxyma.ru:30443/test4vm/show_user.php?userid=80. /JeppeSN | |

This looks like a BOINC issue.

Looking at the official code, this has already been fixed a few years ago: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/commit/1e0631dc87c23ac3c55d4ff869ec942839fbc985 (at least for user urls, team urls still seem to be broken, see e.g.: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/master/html/inc/team.inc#L101 (more files are involved)).
Merging new code/fixes/features into existing project servers is always difficult and can often cause more trouble than being worth the hassle. Especially if you highly customized the code for your project. | |
