url tag doesn't handle https

[paxter]

The default url tag defintion ignores the https protocoll and set all urls to http. Escpecially for intern links on a website it's a problem, because all bbcode formatted texts link to http content and ignores if you are browsing the site via https.
Has anybody a quick solution for this problem?

This seems to be a deficiency of filter_var(). Implement your own UrlValidator and overwrite the default definition for the url-tag.

filter_var() doesn't make a difference between https and http.

Yes, that's pretty much what I wrote. Implementing your own variation of UrlValidator will allow you to get around that.

This issue is likely out of date. The URL tag certainly respects the https protocol (scheme) on my site using JBBCode v1.3.0.
It could be that the PHP version bumps from 5 to 7 to 8 solved this issue somewhere along the way as the filter_var() behavior using the FILTER_VALIDATE_URL tag has certainly changed throughout those versions.
