Newer TLDs not recognized

[Merivuokko]

Elinks does not recognize newer Top Level Domains as such.

For example entering greenpeace.org into the goto url dialog redirects automatically to http://greenpeace.org.

But entering haskellweekly.news redirects to a file: URL, which in my case results in a "No such file or directory" error message.

I propose that Elinks adds all current Internet TLDs to its TLD list.

It is too much work IMO. My proposition, is to make configurable default protocol. For example, if it is http, for text without protocol http:// will be prepended if file then file://, etc.

Added default protocol https:// . It does not work yet if you want other protocols.

[Merivuokko]

Could the default protocol be a list? Each protocol in the list is tried in the specified order until one succeeds or there are no more protocols left.

What do you mean by "succeded" here? Could you provide an use case with list of protocols?
