Now WordPress has dropped support for IE8, it would be awesome if the default urls in the media uploads (and if fact all uploads) was the double forward-slash by default i.e. //mysite/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/myimage.jpg instead of the https:// I understand the only reason http is used was because IE8 and older browsers didn’t support the abbreviated version?
I appreciate you wouldn’t be able to makes this backwards compatible, but for new sites / uploads it would be awesome and it would resolve most of the issues / greatly speed up the process when transferring a site to https:// and when viewing a localhost site on a mobile device etc.
This would be my absolute WordPress dream for 2017 ??
Kind regards,
Paul.
