When editing "URL of team web page, if any:" at https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/team_edit_form.php?teamid=######, it forces http:// in front of the address typed in, even if https:// is typed in the beginning of the address.

Can this "feature" be deleted? Not every host properly re-directs http to https, potentially leaving the user somewhere unintended (if anywhere but 404), and hopefully team founders can be trusted to know if http or https is the right answer for the link they are typing in as their team's web site. Thank you for any consideration.
