But why is it that 'Web Address' accepts just simple www.netsuite.com in the User Interface, why is there a need to concatenate it with either http:// or https:// if populated via WS?

• Plain and simple. There is an internal Field Changed script that triggers whenever Web Address field is populated in the UI, it adds http:// to every URL that starts with www and just allow urls that start with https:// or http://
