I want to fix this:
http://status.net/trac/ticket/2201

I think the solution will be only use a regexp to make
link with anything starting with https?:// without blank
char. That is ok or i must consider some other thing?

Making things into links is a really really hard problem.
The current regular expression is huge and complicated with tons of exceptions.

It's got to support things like
I like status.net
I like status.net.
Who likes status.net?
What about google.ca/search?q=statusNet?
I was at a site today (status.net), and it was awesome.

And hundreds of other things.

So, you can take a swing at it if you like, but you'd have to do a bunch of testing, and it might not be accepted.
It would involve a lot of testing and discussion.
