Title: Protocol-less URL support Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Protocol-less URL support * Resolved [RossWPDev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rosswpdev/) * (@rosswpdev) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/protocol-less-url-support/) * Hello * On my site I have Autoptimize (latest version 1.8.1) (which is brilliant by the way) installed along with WooCommerce (2.1.5) and I have noticed that starting with WooCommerce version 2.1 they now use protocol-less URL’s e.g. * `//example.com/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/js/frontend/woocommerce. min.js?ver=2.1.5` * Is there anyway I can get Autoptimize to pick these up? If I modify the core WooCommerce code that add’s these resources by adding a protocol they are then picked up by Autoptimize, but obviously I don’t want to modify core files! * Any help would be greatly appreciated. * Many Thanks, Ross * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/protocol-less-url-support/#post-4705633) * I’ll look into that, a solution for that might just still make it into 1.8.2. Now that I come to think of it; maybe I should switch to protocol-less URL’s. What do you think? * Thread Starter [RossWPDev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rosswpdev/) * (@rosswpdev) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/protocol-less-url-support/#post-4705652) * Great, thanks, would be good to see this in 1.8.2 🙂 * I believe that the advantage of using the protocol-less urls are that it allows them to inherit the pages current protocol (http / https) preventing the need for any logic in the code to work out the current pages protocol. Which all sounds good.. * Found this article which goes over the topic in more detail [http://www.paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url](http://www.paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url) * Thanks, Ross * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/protocol-less-url-support/#post-4705720) * Hi Ross; Not going to change output for now, but regarding aggregating protocol- less JS/CSS-links, could you try this? * 1. Open up /wp-content/plugins/autoptimize/classes/autoptimizeBase.php 2. On line 26 change: * ``` //Converts an URL to a full path protected function getpath($url) { if ((strpos($url,'//')===false) && (strpos($url,parse_url(AUTOPTIMIZE_WP_SITE_URL,PHP_URL_HOST))===false)) { $url = AUTOPTIMIZE_WP_SITE_URL.$url; } $path = str_replace(AUTOPTIMIZE_WP_ROOT_URL,'',$url); if(preg_match('#^((https?|ftp):)?//#i',$path)) { /** External script/css (adsense, etc) */ return false; } $path = str_replace('//','/',WP_ROOT_DIR.$path); return $path; } ``` * into: * ``` //Converts an URL to a full path protected function getpath($url) { if (strpos($url,'//')===0) { $url = "http:".$url; } else if ((strpos($url,'//')===false) && (strpos($url,parse_url(AUTOPTIMIZE_WP_SITE_URL,PHP_URL_HOST))===false)) { $url = AUTOPTIMIZE_WP_SITE_URL.$url; } $path = str_replace(AUTOPTIMIZE_WP_ROOT_URL,'',$url); if(preg_match('#^((https?|ftp):)?//#i',$path)) { /** External script/css (adsense, etc) */ return false; } $path = str_replace('//','/',WP_ROOT_DIR.$path); return $path; } ``` * 3. save file 4. empty Autoptimize Cache (and whatever page caching plugin you use). * Based on (limited) local tests this should do the trick. If this indeed does work, it’ll be included in 1.8.2. * frank * Thread Starter [RossWPDev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rosswpdev/) * (@rosswpdev) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/protocol-less-url-support/#post-4705806) * Hey futtta * Thanks for the reply.
