$page->url(true) and $page->image_field->url(true)

[Zeka]

Hi.

By

$page->url(true) 

we can get a url with scheme and hostname. 

But 

$page->image_field->url(true);

returns url without scheme and hostname.

Is it expected behavior or just inconsistency between methods? How do you thinks, should these methods behave the same?

To get url with scheme and hostname use

$page->image_field->httpUrl();

It maybe would make sense to provide modifying output of Pagefile::url() via arguments similar to Page::url()
(just to mention: a page is not a file!)

I think you could say it is expected, as these are completely separate methods. The method $page->url() takes an options argument - when you pass 'true' as an argument you are actually setting the 'http' option:

$page->url(['http' => true]);

The method Pageimage::url() takes no options so passing 'true' or any other argument isn't going to modify the way the method works.
