Steps to reproduce the issue
install 3.7.0b1
create Url(Url) custom field
Set scheme to be http://
edit content on FRONTEND
attempt to bypass validation
Expected result
http:// this is & not & a VALID url should not be saveable and should error
Actual result
http:// this is & not & a VALID url saves as a valid url and is hyperlinked on rendering
Additional comments
If there is no validation on the URL then this custom field type is nothing more than a text field with "validate the first few char" and not a URL field!!! Either name it correctly or implement correct validation of the input !

Actually - if you are going to provide a URL field - it MUST validate as a url else whats the point. So it is related to com_fields in that respect.
The URL field extends JFormFieldUrl. So you don't need to fix it in the field plugin, you need to fix it in the old and existing formfield.
It's an old bug you found here
The only thing that makes a URL field different to a TEXT field, is that is SHOULD only accept a URL, effectively it should be a TEXT field with validation.... At the moment that is not being done so a URL field is only as good as a TEXT field
So is the correct course of action to remove the URL field type completely - losing yet another new feature?
or fix the fact that validation has been broken for years?

That is actually not related to com_fields as the same happens when you enter it into the link fields in an article. So I think the JFormFieldUrl itself would need to be fixed here.
