STATIC_URL value gets mangled when specifying URL starting with 'http://'
 
   
  
 
 
If I specify 
 
STATIC_URL  = "http://static.example.com/media"

 
in the html I will get 
 
http:/static.example.com/media
 
(the double / of http://  is replaced by one)
 
After investigation it seems to me that the problems come from this line in ./askbot/skins/utils.py:
 
url = os.path.normpath(url).replace('\\', '/')

 
(line 163 on the current source code) ,  normpath may replace the // by /

If that's a CDN, and probably also if it's not, just do this:
 
STATIC_URL = '//static.example.com/media/'

though it does solve my problem i see two problems to this solution: 1 - it's no more like the django normal usage and should at least be precised in the comments of settings.py 2 - does it work well with https ?
