Is there a way to get URLs that begin with "ttp://" and "ttps://" to redirect to the respective "http://" and "https://" versions of their URLs?
For example: ttps://forum.palemoon.org/ would become https://forum.palemoon.org/.
I've noticed that this feature is present in Firefox, Waterfox, and Basilisk, but it seems to be left out of Pale Moon. The reason I'm asking is because some Japanese communities have a thing called "h removal" (h抜き) where the "h" is removed from "http" to prevent search engines from crawling the link, possibly avoid referral pages, and use it as a workaround to post links due to some boards not allowing full links to be posted since bots typically spam the full link to whatever website they're advertising. If not, that's fine.
"ttp://" to "http://"

Let's hook this up in Issue #1600

Re: "ttp://" to "http://"
Other boards are replacing "http" with "hxxp", the possibilities are unlimited. Perhaps this can be done in an extension for the people who really need it.

One way to solve it could be with the modification of Redirector that I publish in viewtopic.php?p=132282#p132282 that allows to redirect anything to anything else (the original version only works with http or https links). To work correctly you must use regular expressions, for example:karlkracher wrote:Other boards are replacing "http" with "hxxp", the possibilities are unlimited.
- To redirect ttp/s to http/s: ^ttp(s?.+)
- hxxp/s to http/s: hxxp(s?.+)
