[SOLVED] Cannot update account on the AUR due to invalid home page URL
First time posting, I cannot update my user account information on the AUR. I am specifically trying to add an SSH public key as I bought a new laptop.
I am using HTTPS to access the site, but when I click `update` I recieve the following error message:
The home page is invalid, please specify the full HTTP(s) URL.Only result on Google turns up this recently applied patch.
Anyone else experiencing this? Help appreciated.

What are you attempting to put as your home page link?

No, what have you been entering in the "Homepage" field on that page right under "Real Name"

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot update account on the AUR due to invalid home page URL
I get it now! I thought `home page` referred to the AUR account home page, not a field on my account. I had initially used a personal site which had no HTTPS support... hence the error since the patch for HTTPS requirement was applied recently.
Removing my homepage (which does not support HTTPS, yet) solved this one for me. Thank you!

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot update account on the AUR due to invalid home page URL
It does not need to be https, it just needs to be a valid url. In any case, if this is solved, please prepend "[SOLVED]" to the title by editting your first post.
