protocol option expects a colon

[javadoug]

My reverse proxy didn't like my requests because I needed to specify the protocol on the proxy config and include a colon on the end of the string. I wonder if the colon is over zealous code, a typo or really needed.

Error:
400 Bad Request
The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port

Note: connect does NOT require a colon on the protocol option. The server will fail to start with a fatal error message stating invalid protocol.

The grunt-connect-proxy settings needed to make http-proxy work:

@javadoug we expect to receive a full URL string or an object that has been parsed by url.parse(). This is why I just deal with URL strings when it comes to config as it simplifies it infinitely.

@jcrugzz thanks for getting back. pls consider an alternative, perhaps, checking with regex /^https:?/.test(protocol). And if the code construct urls from the parts, the url class supports protocol with and without the colon.

@javadoug I'd take a PR with a proper regex :). I'd export a protocol regex from common so it can be used in both places. Should be something like exports.protocolRegex = /^https|wss/. This also makes sure its precompiled.
