Description

When using the Jetpack comments form without using a social login, it prompts you for Email address, name and website. If you enter a url without the protocol (like website.com) it will not be accepted, and prompt you to enter a URL. It will only accept it if you add the http or https.

comment error

Some users may find this experience a bit confusing, as they would generally not include that without copy/pasting the address directly.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Jetpack comments form behavior for a non-social-login submission using a website.com value without a protocol. Locate the validation entry point for the Website field and verify that URLs without http or https are accepted while existing valid URLs continue to work.
