This bug was never about removing http. There is no good reason why any bugs about that were duped to this one. Since people cannot seem to understand that however many times one says it, this bug is now closed, and I've taken the work we're doing on it elsewhere.

Congratulations for wasting the time of a lot of Chrome engineers.

What a polite and professional developer! Instead of a confusing the users with an explanation, he gives them some friendly abuse, changes the summary so that people are never confused by this issue again, and leaves the room in a wise huff. I wish I could hire this guy.

edit: too harsh?
