Description

NSIA currently treats "https://web.site/path" and "http://web.site/path" as different even though they are most likely the same. NSIA should treat them as the same and not rescan the path.

The problem is that the URLs are currently stored as Strings.

Here is a snippet from HttpSeekingScanRule.java:

// See if the entry is in the list or URLs already processed
for( String oldURL : urls ){
    if( oldURL.equalsIgnoreCase(str) ){
        found = true;
    }
}

We need to stored URL instances in order to treat protocols differently or parse the URL into a URL instance and search for both HTTP and HTTPS instances.
