Info tab links are malformed when a protocol-less culture and hostnames domain is set

[stephen-sherman]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

15.1.0

Bug summary

The hyperlinks in the Info tab Links panel do not function correctly when a protocol-less Culture and hostnames domain is set.

Specifics

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new Umbraco 15.1.0 solution
2. Create a document type
3. Create a node
4. Set the Culture and hostnames of the node to a valid but protocol-less domain i.e.: www.example.com, example.com, or localhost:8080
5. Refresh the page
6. Click the hyperlink in the Info tab Links panel

Expected result / actual result

Expected result

• The back office automatically includes a protocol when necessary, as in earlier versions of Umbraco i.e.: https://www.example.com/, https://example.com/ or https://localhost:8080/
• Clicking the link navigates the user to the supplied domain

Actual result

• The href attribute of the hyperlink lacks a protocol
• Clicking the link navigates the user to a 404 page or similar

Workaround

• Always include a protocol when populating the Culture and hostnames domain

Hi there @stephen-sherman!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂
