[Bug 1436312] [NEW] Uppercase URL causes web search

 

Public bug reported:

Using krilin build 20.

In the browser, I enter the URL HTTP://www.ubuntu.com.

Expected behaviour: fixes case, takes me to Ubuntu website.

Actual behaviour: does a Google search for "HTTP://www.ubuntu.com".

Impact: it's awkward to scan QR codes that give me URLs in all caps,
which is how I discovered the issue.

Workaround: edit the HTTP to http manually. But after the Google search,
editing the URL is awkward because the URL changes to one suitable for
the Google search.

** Affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
