Venus Forces Non-Secure Protocol on Hostname
When specifying a hostname in command line via the --hostname flag, Venus automatically prepends "http://". For my purposes, I think this should only be done if the string passed to --hostname does not begin with a protocol string. As a use case, I have tests that are hosted on a secure host that I cannot run remotely.

Hey Derek, could you checkout out #292. Is this what you had in mind? Trying to fully understand your scenario.
That is exactly what I had in mind for what I'm doing. I'm just trying to be a bit more forward thinking in terms of other use cases. What if the tests are on an FTP server? Or to be run over SSH? Etc. I think for sustainability, Venus should run a RegEx against the hostname string. If it begins with a protocol ("____://"), then don't add one. If it doesn't, default to http:// ?
The --secure option works perfect for me, though.
Not sure why the tests would be on some other server? They are served by venus so they are on the Venus server, which is http:// by default.
Yeah. In this case, I had a request where someone wants to automate tests within a Gitli-hosted repository without pulling it down. :)
