[pmwiki-users] Error encountered with upgrade to 2.2 beta 65

[Henrik]

Correction:

I just tried the same posting on other websites that still have PmWiki 
2.1.27 with the same problem, so apparently it's independent of PmWiki. 
What could possible be generating this error?

The workaround is to post protocols with parenthesis:

[[(http:)//parkcommons.ca]] works. [[http://parkcommons.ca]] generates 
the error. So apparently something is parsing for protocol strings (http 
server?) with http put? All before it even reaches pmwiki scripts.

This is a recent change (the last couple of days), presumably made by my 
web host. But they've been "challenged" with configuration issues 
before, so if someone could explain this to me so that I could explain 
it to them I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

- Henrik
