Comment:

 The edit_user() function in wp-admin/includes/user.php hard codes a
 'http://' to the front of the 'Website' field if the regex for the scheme
 (http,ftp,irc,telnet,etc.) fails.  An additional check is needed to see if
 the field is empty.

 I've added a simple patch that runs the scheme regex check only if the
 field is not empty.

 At best this is a minor inconvenience so I'm going to bump this to the 2.9
 milestone.
