Re: Prop: make URL's clickable

Ok, now for some regex magic:

((ht|f)tps?://[^][:blank:]>\r\n]+[^]>\\)( \r\n)]+)

Catches all of the cases you suggest (although you may be able to improve

(http://www.linux.org)
<http://www.balsa.net>
[http://www.slashdot.org]
http://foo.bar.some)host/
(http://foo.bar.some)host/)
(http://www.freshmeat.net)       (many spaces)
