Looks good to me - the only thing I might suggest is a looser check that
would also grab plain links ("www.site.com") as well as those with HTTP.
It might key off of common prefixes ("www" and "ftp" for example), then look
for a dot, any alphanumerics, then one or more dot plus two or two
characters (this would catch international links as well).
