Comment:

 It actually recognizes `https`, but it's confused here because the href
 attribute starts with a space, so it thinks the protocol is ' https'. I
 think it should strip the spaces (according to HTML5, `href` has to be a
 'valid URL potentially surrounded by spaces', I haven't checked any other
 HTML versions). Also, the error message should be clearer to avoid such
 confusion.
