Need to delete URL from Safari...

[viggen61]

Not a bookmark, but a "remembered" URL.

A site I use often used to be: https://www.blahblahblah.org (not the real site). A while back, they changed, and dropped the https:// for a simple http://

Problem is, if I enter just www.blahblahblah.org into Safari, Safari auto-completes it with https://, NOT http://. The only way I can get Safari to do it is to type the entire url: http://www.blahblahblah.org.

Yes, I know I can set a bookmark, and/or put it in the bookmark bar, but I don't use it often enough for the bar, and I type it faster than I can mouse through the menus... And I would prefer not to flush all remembered URLs...

Any suggestions? Is there a plist I can edit?

Thanks,

Oh - it's Leopard 10.5.4, but this issue has persisted since 10.3.something...

It is likely in your history or autocomplete plist in your USERNAME/Library/Safari folder, simply delete the entry in the file, or make a bookmark, that way Safari will default to the sans-s when you start typing the the address bar.

Thanks. I'll give it a try tonight.

Hmmm...Any way to search through a plist? Plist editor doesn't seem to do that...

Command-F should let you. The problem with the PList files is that they are nested collections, so they are a little clumsy.

Found and Fixed!

It was in one of the Bookmarks files. I changed the https to http, and it works fine now.

Plist editor does NOT allow you to search through. Had to open the plists in BBEdit.

Thanks for the help!

Viggen61 wanted to change one entry and not remove the other auto-complete entries.
