MediaWikiHelper.MakeAbsoluteUrl protocol not so intuitive

[HarelM]

The following call raises an exception:
I wanted to get a full URL of a page (I'm sure there is a simpler way but I couldn't find it...)

var allpagesGenerator = new AllPagesGenerator(_wikiSite)
{
    PaginationSize = 500
};
var results = await allpagesGenerator.EnumItemsAsync().ToList();
var page = new WikiPage(_wikiSite, results.First().Title);
var pageRelativeUrl = _wikiSite.SiteInfo.ArticlePath.Replace("$1", page.Title);
MediaWikiHelper.MakeAbsoluteUrl(_wikiSite.SiteInfo.ServerUrl + "/wiki", pageRelativeUrl, "http");

Apparently I need to send "http:" as protocol string, which I find not intuitive.

OK, I figured out how to get the content of a page (it was easier than I thought, now I feel dumb :-/).
Never-the-less the issue still exists...

I believe the first time I wrote this part of code, I was only thinking of the simplicity on implementation… I will look into this and try to decide on a better solution, such as

• http
• http://

It seems that protocol-relative URLs are not part of the URI standard, and it is more likely of an ad-hoc resource locating solution for website migrating from HTTP to HTTPS without crossing the domain unnecessarily.
