http:// becomes http

Hello,

I have added the code below to the functions file to create a redirect. The problem is that it converts http:// to http%3A%2F%2F and the redirect fails. Do you have a fix for this? Thanks

add_action( 'wpel_link', function ( $link ) {
    // check if link is an external links
    if ( $link->is_external() ) {
        // get current url
        $url = $link->get_attr( 'href' );

        // set redirect url
        $redirect_url = '//somedom.com?url='. urlencode( $url );
        $link->set_attr( 'href', $redirect_url );
    }
}, 10, 1 );
