Hi,

first of all: thanks for youtube-dl, it's great to be able to watch 
youtube-videos without flash in the browser!

And it would be even nicer, if youtube-dl would automatically add "http://"; to 
the URL if it's missing:

$ youtube-dl youtube.com/watch?v=5UlyXaN_ICU
Error: URL does not seem to be a youtube video URL. If it is, report a bug.
$ youtube-dl http://youtube.com/watch?v=5UlyXaN_ICU
[works]

Rationale: popular search engines display results without the leading 
"http://"; :-)


regards,
        Holger
