    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      We noticed today that a link, where the https:// was mistyped and was missing the final slash, got redirected as if it were a directory on the local web server, instead of just being a broken link. Would it be better to leave it broken, or to repair the link, instead of prefixing the local server to it?

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Edit this page: https://wiki.cac.washington.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=72219641
      2. Insert a mistyped link: http:/washington.edu/calendar/trumba
      3. Click Save
      4. Go visit your link and see where it goes.

      Expected:
      1. Link would be "fixed" and extra / would be added after the http:/ so the link would go to its intended destination
      or
      2. Link would go to broken link that I typed in
      or
      3. I would have been notified after step 2 (or possibly after step 3) that I entered an invalid link

      Actual:
      https://wiki.cac.washington.edu/ is affixed to the beginning of my link making it:
      https://wiki.cac.washington.edu/https:/washington.edu/calendar/trumba
      I can understand why the software thought that the "https:/" could have been a directory, but this has been confusing for some of our users.
