In reviewing my web site statistics, I see that I get 404 errors (often enough to make me ask about it) when users try to click on a link to a secure external site (i.e. an https:// link).
I've tested these links multiple times, and they always work fine for me. Other links do not seem to have trouble. It seems to be related to "https://" for some reason. I get this for another site too.
The statistics page shows the 404 failed link with an additional forward-slash at at the start of the url, such as:
"/https://www.SomeRandomWebSite.com"
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can prevent it? Is this a browser-specific issue that I have no control over?
Thanks!
