Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2011-04-07 19:12:12 UTC

Version:           git-latest (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

The only addresses the URL parser accepts are:
http://example.com/parameters/?everything=is&fine=here#andso
and it accepts whatever special character there may be (German Umlauts, %, #, comma etc which is really good) BUT:
It only marks an URL as clickable link if it is preceded by a http://
So if you enter www.kde.org it will not make it clickable. http://kde.org or https://kde.org works though.
Also, ftp:// is not recognized. (Not to mention fish, smb, etc but those aren‘t important).
E-Mail adresses are also not clickable.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Lasse Liehu 2011-04-07 19:32:40 UTC

I just noticed a message like:

"http://www.kde.org
foobar foo" (in HTML "http://www.kde.org<br/>foobar")

will become like this in HTML:
"<a href="http://www.kde.org">http://www.kde.org<br/>foobar</a> foo"

because the newline "<br/>" is parsed as being part of the url.
