Description

When trying to use protocol-relative URLs (see ​1 or ​2) like for example returned by ​django-hosts the syndication framework prepends the protocol and the domain. This way a valid URL is transformed into an invalid or at least useless URL.

Example:

class MyFeed(Feed):
    def item_link(self, item):
       url = reverse_crossdomain("myhost", "myview", 
                            view_kwargs={'some': 'argument'})
       return url

The value of url is "example.com/path/to/view/" and the rendered feed contains http://example.com//example.com/path/to/view/.

The syndication framework should either just pass the url as it is or prepend the protocol. For the case of prepending the protocol a patch is attached
