Use http:// protocol if not defined

[vananiev]

JIRA: BRU-3084

I have checked the following:

• I've searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

This feature

• blocks me from using Bruno
• would improve my quality of life in Bruno
• is something I've never seen an API client do before

Describe the feature you want to add, and how it would change your usage of Bruno

I've imported a collection from Postman to Bruno. Postman supports URLs like GET localhost:8080, and Bruno doesn't.

When I'm trying to execute a request in Bruno, I'm getting:

Unsupported protocol localhost:

I have a lot of requests. It's hard to fix URLs in all of them to GET http://localhost:8080.

Is it possible to apply the "http" protocol implicitly if the protocol is not defined in a URL?

@vananiev Thanks for raising this issue. I was able to reproduce it. This appears to be a bug where localhost is incorrectly treated as a scheme by the protocolRegex. We will review #7786 and address this issue.

This now has been shared with our Product team for review.
At this stage, it’s under consideration along with other requests. We’ll follow up once there’s a clearer decision or prioritization.
