I'm actually not discounting anything and as I mentioned, I've already used some regex to extract the properly-formed URLs (those starting with http://). I was fortunately able to find some example regex that I could figure out enough to tweak for my purpose. Unfortunately, my small brain hurts whenever I try and understand what a piece of regex is doing and I don't like having bits in my code that hurt my brain. BTW, that's not meant to be an invitation to someone to produce some regex for me, if I can't find any other way of doing it, I'll try and create my own regex and come back here if I can't get that working.
