I have a stylesheet that loads images from an external domain and I need it to load from https:// from secure order pages and http:// from other pages, based on the current URL. I found that starting the URL with a double slash inherits the current protocol. Do all browsers support this technique?
HTML ex:
<img src="//cdn.domain.example/logo.png" />
CSS ex:
.class { background: url(//cdn.domain.example/logo.png); }
If the browser supports RFC 1808 Section 4, RFC 2396 Section 5.2, or RFC 3986 Section 5.2, then it will indeed use the page URL’s scheme for references that begin with "//".
