Description
The link dialog used to prepend http:// when the user didn't type it. For example, if the user typed "www.google.com", it would convert it to "http://www.google.com".
This is a regression, since it worked in 1.4. See: http://bugs.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/7182

You need to end the input with a /<optional file> for it to append http.
It needs the cues to know if it should append or not. www.google.com/xxx.yyy.zzz, etc could also just be references to local files on your system. There is no cue that it's really a hostname/url link.
That's how it has always worked (1.4+). It will try to guess whether it is a local file ref or url, but to do so it needs the cue of the /.
Not a regression.
