CEWP and Page Viewer Webpart change the protocol of absolute links
I am editing a publishing site page at https://foo.domain.com When I add a page viewer webpart and set the link to http://bar.domain.com and hit apply... the link (or links if it's a CEWP) is changed to be https://bar.domain.com and consequently doesn't work. If I try and set the link to be http://google.com the protocol is retained and everything works properly -- therefore this appears to only be an issue when using a link that is within the same domain as the site being edited. I suspect if I could edit the site from an http address it would not attempt to rewrite the protocol. The URL's are absolute so I do not see why SharePoint should change them even if they are part of the same domain. If it's trying to protect me from mixing protocols then that's just silly -- let the browser figure it out. Any help would be appreciated!
