kudos:4 | HTTP links don't always work in posts As can be seen in the following post:
»Re: If CBS documents are forged, is Kerry done?
the http code does not always result in a linkable connection. This appears to happen when the HTTP link is posted right after an /quote passage. I have seen this in many posts, including my own. Often I need to add blanks and enter for a new line to get the HTTP code to create a linkable result.
I did a search of this forum to see if this problem was posted before and couldn't find any. I apologize if this problem has already been reported and is being worked on.

Waldwick, NJ | Tom: The issue has been around for a long time. I'm guessing I posted about it well over a year ago. The parse isn't handing the ]http code properly. Need to add a space to make it work. Guess it's not something that's made the Top 10 list yet.

Thanks for update. According to Justin's reply to your earlier bug report, he thinks that it isn't worth the effort since it impacts very few posts, but I see the link problem in posts every single day. Maybe more users are using the quote capability and don't know to put a blank or "new line" after the end quote tag.

»Hyperlink parser needs a space in front....
The space obviously is NOT needed (to make the parser work). |

| No, but makes the regex a pain in the ass to write.. I think the most-accurate regex to parse a url takes about half a page of unreadable code.. it becomes totally unmaintainable after a while and largely not worth the effort.
