Code

function filter_xss_bad_protocol($string, $decode = TRUE) {
  // Get the plain text representation of the attribute value (i.e. its meaning).
  // @todo Remove the $decode parameter and always assume an HTML string that needs decoding.
  if ($decode) {
    if (!function_exists('decode_entities')) {
      require_once BACKDROP_ROOT . '/core/includes/unicode.inc';
    }

    $string = decode_entities($string);
