Why this sudden outrage? This has been the case ever since Google Chrome took the step of obscuring the HTTP protocol scheme way back in April 2010, and been mentioned way back then as well. See: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=41467#c19 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=41467#c19 for a developer's comment where he explains the 'feature'. This seems to be a case of reporting an existing 'feature' (however much you may dislike it) as a bug.
