Description
For example, //www.edgewall.org/gfx/trac_bullet.png could be used on WikiStart.
URLs starting with // should be interpreted as protocol-relative. Unfortunately, the Image macro interprets URLs starting with // as server-relative. If we were starting again, I might suggest we use something like ^// for server-relative.
The only idea I have is to use :// to indicate protocol-relative URLs. Other ideas are welcome.

It doesn't sound sensible to require custom markup for standard things.
// should be interpreted as protocol-relative, / server-relative, with no further specification needed.

We cannot change the existing implementation and break uses of Image macro in existing installations.

It might be good to support also protocol-relative URL to TracLinks#Server-relativelinks.

Protocol-relative links is probably a good idea. I looked at making the change, but it's pretty extensive and I don't think I'll find time to implement it now.

Hi Ryan,
First I'd like to thank the TRAC team for their excellent work.
I agree with comment:3.
I have aprox. 20 TRAC instances running and I would rather bite the bullet and update the all TRAC DBs via an sql script. I like TRAC in particular for the TracLinks and if things can be standardised - even better.
In the same context, I miss putting relative links into the trac.ini. Can this be improved as well ?

Specifically, for which options do you want to use relative links?

I'd like to use relative links in mainnav together with https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/MenusPlugin. Do you think that's possible ?

Could you give a specific example of how you'd configure [mainnav] with a relative link?
