ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
HTTP being prefixed in the Trackable URLs when populating via Merge fields
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Created a custom Merge Field "ABCMergeURL"
> In Campaign Recipient BC created a new calculated field:
>> "ABC Merge Field" > Value: https://community.oracle.com
> In Campaign Recipient BC, added User Prop:
>> Name: Substitution Field 23 > Value: ABC Merge Field
2) From Email Treatment > Edit Email, add the new Merge Field to the Template just to ensure a value will be generated when Email is sent
3) From Email Treatment > Advanced > Trackable URL, add a new record:
> Name = ABCMergeURL
> URL: [Field: ABC Merge Field]
4) From Email Treatment > Edit Email, add above Trackable URL to the Template
5) Run "Verify & Preview" and in the Merge Field Popup Applet, enter https://community.oracle.com in the ABC Merge URL field.
6) In the generated Email Preview, check the URL generated:
http://localhost:8060/ctd/lu?RID=&CON=&PRO=&AID=&OID=1-5WU3&CID=UNKNOWN&COID=UNKNOWN&T=http://https://community.oracle.com&TN=ABCMergeURL&RT=Clicked+On+URL
7) In the preview > Source code, the following is seen:
<p>
Trackable URL: <A HREF="http://localhost:8060/ctd/lu?RID=&CON=&PRO=&AID=&OID=1-5WU3&CID=UNKNOWN&COID=UNKNOWN&T=http://https://community.oracle.com&TN=ABCMergeURL&RT=Clicked+On+URL">ABCMergeURL</A></p>
<p>
8) This is also true for a regular URL. If you have an URL such as www.yahoo.com, then "http://" will be added to the CTD URL.
9) Adding an actual URL value does not add the HTTP to the URL:
Email Treatment > Advanced > Trackable URL, add a new record:
> Name = ABCMergeURL
> URL: https://community.oracle.com
<p>
Trackable URL1 <A HREF="http://localhost:8060/ctd/lu?RID=&CON=&PRO=&AID=&OID=1-5WU3&CID=UNKNOWN&COID=UNKNOWN&T=https://community.oracle.com&TN=ABCMergeURL1&RT=Clicked+On+URL">ABCMergeURL1</A></p>
