(First time issue writer, advanced apologies for doing it wrong.)

In Chrome, the address bar hides the http:// part of a url, unless it is https:// in which case Chrome leaves it alone. When using the prefix-n-shorten, since Chrome hides the http:// on most pages, the shortening will fail.

Expected behavior: the shortened url shown on the admin panel after using the prefix-n-shorten shortcut of YOURLS.
Actual behavior: the landing page of my YOURLS installation.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Chrome
2. Go to non-https page
3. Prefix the URL on said page in the address with the yourls installation path
4. Fails to produce the shortened url

Example:

• myyourls.com/theverge.com/blah/blah | fails
• myyourls.com/http://theverge.com/blah/blah | works

Other information:

• PHP 5.5.9
• MYSQL 14.14
• Ubuntu 14.04
• YOURLS 1.7

I love using the prefix-n-shorten feature, and while this is annoying, I end up just typing the http:// by hand. Even if there is no way to fix this, I figured it might helpful to document somewhere.
