# Important: #94615 - Fluid view helpers f:link.external and f:uri.external use https by default

See [forge#94615](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/94615)

## Description

When using the Fluid view helpers `f:uri.external` or `f:link.external` without
an explicitly specified scheme, the target link now uses `https` instead of `http`.

Given the following Fluid snippets:

```html
<f:link.external uri="www.some-domain.tld">some content</f:link.external>
<f:uri.external uri="www.some-domain.tld" />
```

The result before:

```html
<a href="http://www.some-domain.tld">some content</a>
http://www.some-domain.tld
```

New result:

```html
<a href="https://www.some-domain.tld">some content</a>
https://www.some-domain.tld
```

If the new default can not be used, the `http` scheme needs to be specified. Examples:

```html
<f:link.external uri="http://www.some-domain.tld">some content</f:link.external>
<f:link.external uri="www.some-domain.tld" defaultScheme="http">some content</f:link.external>
<f:uri.external uri="http://www.some-domain.tld" />
<f:uri.external uri="www.some-domain.tld" defaultScheme="http" />
```
