weibo delete: URL must use http or https

Error message

weibo delete: URL must use http or https

What it means

If the id argument parses as a URL, normalizePostId requires it to use http: or https:. Any other scheme (ftp:, javascript:, weibo://, or a malformed string that URL still accepts like 'foo:bar') is rejected with ArgumentError to avoid resolving ids from non-web schemes.

Solutions

1. Use a full https:// URL, e.g. https://weibo.com/1234567890/AbCdEfGhI
2. Or pass just the id (idstr or mblogid) instead of a URL — no scheme issues
3. Fix typos in the scheme (https:// not htp:// or http:/ )

Example fix

// before
weibo delete --id 'weibo.com/user/AbCdEfGhI'
// after
weibo delete --id 'https://weibo.com/user/AbCdEfGhI'

  catch { return false; }
}
if (!hasHttpScheme(input) && input.includes(':')) throw new Error('URL must use http or https');

function isHttpUrl(v) {
  if (typeof v !== 'string') return false;
  try { const u = new URL(v); return u.protocol === 'http:' || u.protocol === 'https:'; }
  catch { return false; }
}

try {
  await cliDelete({ id: input });
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof ArgumentError && /must use http or https/.test(err.message)) {
    throw new Error('Use a full https:// URL or pass the bare id instead');
  } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing a URL-like string with a non-http(s) scheme, e.g. `weibo delete --id 'weibo.com/123'` parsed with a relative scheme, or accidentally passing an internal/app scheme link copied from a mobile client.

Common situations: Pasting a link from the Weibo mobile app that uses a custom scheme, omitting the protocol and having URL parse it oddly, or typo'd schemes like htp://.
