Using protocolless links and problems with IE in players > v2.3

Created by: qchroman

Hello all,

I have noticed a strange behavior when players with version higher than 2.3 doesn't behave correctly when IE opens the page where the URL to the MPEG-DASH manifest is defined w/o the protocol.

For example, visit this page w/ 2.4 version of the player. Open network tab in your developer tools, put the following URL

//dash.edgesuite.net/akamai/bbb_30fps/bbb_30fps.mpd

and hit load. Observe.

The same works just fine in 2.3 player.

Thank you for your attention.
