Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Here you go, John:

/(^|\\s)(https?:\\/\\/[^\\s]*)\\b(\\/?)/

Are spaces legal or no? How do we do on those? Also, was there a problem with _?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That's not it, I'm almost sure.

If you look at the html source code of the post as displayed, that's what's going on. What am I missing?

Sorry Jon, you're right, I'm wrong. So the problem could be fixed simply by changing the regex to wrap the URL in double quotes not single. Double quotes are definitely not allowed in URLs ... right?

I must admit I'm a bit shocked at the use of single quotes for HTML attribute values. Aren't there some browsers where that would be a big problem?

I hope not. Better look at the code though, to make sure that won't cause a different problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If the regexp is working, we can URLENCODE the URL.

Returns a string in which all non-alphanumeric characters except -_. have been replaced with a percent (%) sign followed by two hex digits and spaces encoded as plus (+) signs

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Nothing to add, just joining the throng of the shocked and appalled.

Test 1 2 3

Edit: Sorry, I had a message I thought I posted not show up, and I figured this was a better place to test than elsewhere. Carry on.

Nothing to add, just joining the throng of the shocked and appalled.

And deeply concerned.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

I think I found a solution to the search function overload problems!

We need PIGEONS!

Sorry.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Only if we can poison them in the park...
