Thank you for your report.
The syntax of the URL you have given is valid under RFC 2396.
While we understand that https://https:// is not a valid webpage but according to the RFC 2396, it is a valid URI.
For example, https://localhost:1234// and http://a/ are both considered a valid URI (http://a can be valid if a is mapped to an IP address if your DNS server or /etc/hosts specifies it).
The syntax of URL is defined by RFC 2396: Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax
Please refer to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt

Nice try to detect 'The must begin with a “http://” or “https://” in order for the link to be valid.'
But more effort should be put in to detect valid website.
