[drupal-devel] [feature] Handle external URLs

[asimmonds]

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/19842

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    base system
 Category:     feature requests
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  chx

 Updated by:   asimmonds
 Status:       patch

I'm fairly certain external URLs already work in with url() if you have
Clean URLs enabled.
IMO http://drupal.org/node/10888 is a cleaner solution for people who
can't use Clean URLs.

This very simple patch lets you add external URLs to your menu or
wherever, 'cos I patched url() itself.
Please consider for 4.6.

Too naive, IMO. Needs ftp, nntp, irc, aim, blah blah blah.

and e2dk or whatever. A path is external if a) it begins with mailto: b)
method: followed by a slash. method is loosely defined as a sequence of
any characters but slash. This will evaluate  a Drupal path
foor:bar/this/that external. However  trackerpage/http://whatever has a
slash before the : so it will be an internal URL.
