There seem to be many people doubling up the https://<real site>

https:// directs to a site that is blocked by WOT and AVG. Is there any way to detect the extra http:// and strip it when people post links?

Image links or URLs?

I can put it into the scrubber to catch and fix.

It's mostly in URLs, but sometimes on images that are also links. Not sure what causes it.
