Link validation on submit from node creation/edit always fails with "missing schema." It does so because an _empty_ variable $url is being checked.

Solution:
weblinks/contribs/weblinks_checker/weblinks_checker.module line 183 should be changed

from:
$response = drupal_http_request($url, array(), 'HEAD', NULL, 0);
to:
$response = drupal_http_request($new, array(), 'HEAD', NULL, 0);

Notes:
1. $new should be safe. It is set/checked on 159-162:
$new = _weblinks_checker_fix_url($form_state['values']['url']);
if (!valid_url($new, TRUE)) {
form_set_error('url', t('"@url" does not look like a valid URL.', array('@url' => $new)));
}

2. This error probably originated from failing to change this occurrence of $url to $new after copy-pasting (now) line 332 from the cron job.

Sounds like this might work to fix Weblinks, but I am too much of a newbie to make these changes myself.

Maybe the person who owns and maintains the module will modify and then let all of us know once this has been fixed?

I guess I could go spend 15 minutes to see if this has been fixed, but I am short on time today.

Here's the secondary Drupal issue which perhaps can be resolved by Drupal 12.

--
Here I am back to Drupal and checking the my mail and seeing that I reported this problem about 5 months
and it has a potential solution. I was linked here from a suggested solution at my original posting.

I wish we had some type of referring issues links where a taxonomy or database -- maybe Hadoop? could give us a list of other links to an issue. This way maybe I could find that the module owner has already seen this and has fixed it or has added it as an item to be fixed at a later date.

Probably not good for me to add this to another post, but this is one of the reasons why I find it difficult
to use drupal...

Yes I know everyone is volunteering
-- and doing a great job -- I might add...

It's just more of a technological process issue that needs a programmer to look at and see if we can streamline the process.

Best,

Lori
