URLs must begin with a supported URI scheme: http:// and https:// will be supported by all browsers; irc://, ircs://, ftp://, news:, mailto: and gopher:// will require a plugin or an external application. IPv6 host-names are currently not supported.
URLs containing certain characters will display and link incorrectly unless those characters are encoded. For example, a space must be replaced by %20. To encode the URL, replace these characters:
sp " , '  ; < >  ? [ ] \ .  :  !  ? )
 %20  %22  %2c  %3a  %3b  %3c  %3e  %3f  %5b  %5d  %5c  %2e  %3a  %21  %3f  %29
