Why BS removes 'http:' in all links?

[tekord]

I render some text with links on my backend (Laravel). Then I open some page via browsersync and all links are modified, 'http:' part was removed. So I got //my-site/page instead of http://my-site/page.

Where 'http://my-site' is a proxy parameter of BS config.

This is a significant issue for me because this breaking my JS script which expects no content modification.

Leaving out the protocol causes the browser to select the protocol itself.
I.E. if you connected over HTTP, the url the browser will use to fetch the script will be using http. If you connected over HTTPS, the browser will use https.

I ran into this issue when using pushState in combination with a browsersync proxy.

When reading urls from anchors they return //localhost:3000/ instead of http://localhost:3000/. This works fine when navigating with the browser but when used in pushState it needs to be an absolute url.

Is there a way to force browser sync to use the protocol in urls?
