This may fix the issue at hand, but it still doesn't entirely fix the algorithm (regex). Properly validating URLs is much harder than this; see Wikipedia.
Honestly I'd almost prefer getting rid of the algo entirely, because there's not much to be learned from a monster regex…
Got your point. I will look for a more proper solution then.
I thought we do not want to change regex, but sure let me work on better way.
