Using "http://" for link that needs to be shortened returns 403 Forbidden error

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

See http://beardown.ca/ts for details

When trying to shorten a link, if the user enters the link WITH the "http://" 
it returns a 403 forbidden error message.  Removing the "http://" from the link 
that the user is trying to shorten will fix the problem.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. NOT entering "http://" in the link that needs to be shortened

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
403 Forbidden 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

This is odd. It looks like the apache configuration. Are you on a particular 
web host?
