https: links cannot be searched via Special:Linksearch; no results are returned. This appears to be because the el_index field is blank for https entries. Recommended fix: fill out el_index for https (and others?) as it is done for http.
wfMakeUrlIndex() in includes/GlobalFunctions.php includes these lines: if ( !$bits || $bits['scheme'] !== 'http' ) { return false; }
I was going to submit the same problem but have found this ticket. On NL Wikipedia someone had posted a fake "donate to Wikipedia"-link in an article. Url's to http://wwww.paypal.com can be found with the [[Special:Linksearch]] function but still not "https"-versions. Please add this. And maybe also include some other protocols like: gopher:// ftp:// irc://
Fixed with r20530. Searching now for http/https/ftp/irc/news available (gopher seems me to old/not relevant). Please note, that existing weblinks other than http are not indexed (el_index) until the link is edited and the paged is saved again.
Reworked with r20561. Works now for all protocols definded in $wgUrlProtocols incl. email.
