Bug Description

This was first reported by Nat by the following:I thought this is something we had fixed, but it seems to have
reverted
back to the old way. Many profiles have websites listed without the
"http", so profiles with websites with only "www" had broken links.
We
implemented a fix back in April (I think) to have KARL render websites
with only "www" as valid links, but after the last update this seems
to
be broken. Can you look into it?

Thanks,
Nat

I could not recreate this and reported that back to Nat. He then sent the following:
Here's an example of a profile with a broken website field:

https://karl.soros.org/profiles/khelz/. There are many other examples.
Perhaps it's a browser issue? I'm using FF 3.6.

Thanks,
Nat

I went to the link and if you click on the link it gives a general error. I checked it out under several browsers and it does not appear to be browser unique. It does appear that it might be old data prior to the update.

Tres, I suppose I could help on this by chatting with you about the right kind of test suite, twill or otherwise.

Chris thinks this might actually be some bad data coming from GSA.
