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.
