Try changing the regex from this:
^(((https?:|ftp:|gopher:)\/\/))[-[:alnum:]\?%,\.> \/&##!@:=\+~_]+[A-Za-z0-9\/]$
to this:
^(((https?:|ftp:|gopher:)\/\/))[-[:alnum:]\?%,\.\/&##!@:=\(\)\+~_]+[A-Za-z0-9\/\(\)]$
I did a couple of tests with parens in and around parameter values, and it
worked for me.
(in a regex, the backslash means 'match the following literal character').
