Description:
If the "Homepage" field in a project contains an URL without a leading "http://", clicking on the link will result in a bad redirection.

How to repeat:
Take http://forge.mysql.com/projects/view.php?id=170 as an example: clicking on the URL "www.ddengine.org" will cause a redirect to http://forge.mysql.com/projects/www.ddengine.org instead of http://www.ddengine.org

Suggested fix:
Either fix the redirection to accept URLs without a leading "http" or add some input verification during the project registration. The latter option would require that we go through the entire project database and fix all URLs.

Thank you for a problem report. Verified just as described.

Added check to project handler that validates URIs using PEAR::Validate::uri().

Also fixed some template issues that were not displaying the correct tabs when an error occurred (in templates/tools/snippet.tpl and template/projects/project.tpl)

FIXED in r455
