Solved MalformedURLException

Code:

    public static void checkUpdates() {
        console.sendMessage("§eChecking for updates...");
        try {
            String url = Settings.URL + "/pluginversion.html";
            HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
            String version = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream())).readLine();
            if (!plugin.getDescription().getVersion().equalsIgnoreCase(version)) {
                console.sendMessage("§aYou are using an outdated version of " + Settings.NAME + ". Please update to the latest version. §4<!> Disabling plugin <!>");
                Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTasks(plugin);
                Bukkit.getPluginManager().disablePlugin(plugin);
            } else {
                console.sendMessage("§aYou are using the latest version of " + Settings.NAME + ".");
                startPlugin();
            }
           
        } catch (IOException e) {
            console.sendMessage("§cAn error occured while checking for updates with " + Settings.NAME + ". §4<!> Disabling plugin <!>");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Error
java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: notatallonmyarket.epizy.com/pluginversion.html

 

Add the HTTP protocol prefix AKA http://

 

@IAmANoot Add https:// to the start.


@Kars 2019, https boi! (Also he literally uses HttpsURLConnection and IIRC it errors on non-secure protocol)

 

Right, yes. This.
