Default URL regexp doesn't match with "new" gTLDs

[teepox]

I'm not a regexp wizard, but it looks like the current default URL regexp matches with two letter ccTLDs and a short list of statically defined gTLDs. However, the list of gTLDs has been expanding for 10 years now, so the regexp should be more generic. The one used by PuTTY-url for the last 5 years seems to be working correctly. It matches only http(s) and ftp URLs, though.

The one used by PuTTY-url is:

((https?|ftp)://|www.).(([^ ]([^ ]))([^ ()][^ ,;.:"')>])?|([^ ()][^ ,;.:"')>]))

Unfortunately, this regex does not work: [image: image.png]

Unfortunately the image didn't come through to this issue, but I think the problem is that I didn't paste the string in as code snippet. Some of the characters were interpreted as formatting, so they were dropped out... If this doesn't show up correctly: ((https?|ftp)://|www\.).(([^ ]*\([^ ]*\))([^ ()]*[^ ,;.:"')>])?|([^ ()]*[^ ,;.:"')>])) Then the regexp used by PuTTY-URL can be found in the change log here: https://ryara.net/putty-url/
