Tested with no issues on OS X.

I'll now proceed to build the set of OS X packages ready for the word to release 3.0.20. Obviously if we revert the feature request

If it's not possible to make the log entries fully consistent (i.e. to add the protocol in all instances) then my opinion is to revert this change, and indeed to modify the code such that no log entries display the protocol specifier. Unless of course this means that the host operating system cannot interpret the URLs and therefore no longer makes them clickable?
