Description Kim Horne CLA 2005-03-31 09:53:08 EST 
On windows, if you enter google.com in the url bar and hit enter it will resolve to http://google.com.  If 
you do the same in OS X nothing occurs.

Do you see the same behaviour on standalone Windows and OS browsers? If you 
do, then it is the browser's own behaviour and we are just inheriting it 
through the Browser widget.

I'm not sure what you're using for a browser on OS X... I assume it's Safari. 
In Safari I can just enter google.com and it will work.  No need for the http://
Comment 3 Dejan Glozic CLA 2005-03-31 10:19:03 EST 
It is possible that the browser application automatically completes the URL if 
it is missing the protocol, not the embeddable browser widget, so we are 
lacking that behaviour. 

Chris, can you confirm that the protocol prepending is something that we need 
to do ourselves on Mac?
