Previous to Contao 2.11, the "External Redirect" page type did not force "http://" at the beginning of the url string. I used to use this to create a page in the navigation but then redirect to internal pages that do not show up in the "Internal Redirect" options. These would be links to readers like news reader articles, FAQ articles, Catalog Readers and Isotope Product readers.

By forcing http://, there's no way to redirect to these pages using an "External Redirect" or "Internal Redirect" page type.
