Bug 1603746 - Check url for protocol at the beginning of the string
47 bytes, text/x-phabricator-request
Details | Review

std::string's find_first_of is documented to do the following:

Searches the string for the first character that matches any of the characters specified in its arguments.

This means that url.find_first_of("http:") will find the first position in url that has any character of h, t, p, or :. This means https: urls will be incorrectly truncated, which will fail destination validation, which will fail to send the ping.

(on next startup TelemetrySend should find the unsent ping and send it using its logic, so this should only contribute to a delay in data being sent on *nix platforms without curl host parsing, not much missing data.)
