 * Hello,
 * the removal of the http: before the links often brings problems with other plugins
   or special situations like the web-app-mode of the iPhone.
 * Which line of the code do I have to change or comment out, that the http: is 
   not removed before external links?

 * Crappy plugins and apps then, hehe. And yes, it’s possible for Apple to produce
   crap.
 * Anyway, in `wp-html-compression.php`, add this under line 34:
 * > `$this->shorten_urls = false;`
