Improper Link header URL detection

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Send a request that will return a Link header with a URL formatted per the 
standard (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/9707-link-header.html)
2. Hover over the URL in the Link header response - note the Advanced REST 
client includes the ">;" as part of the URL.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

In this header example, I would expect the string "http://myapi.com/myresource" 
to be highlighted as the URL:

Link: <http://myapi.com/myresource>; rel=myresource

However, the string "http://myapi.com/myresource>;" is actually being 
interpreted as the URL.

On what operating system, browser and browser version?

Mac OSX, Chrome Version 38.0.2125.122

I have experienced this same problem. Any word yet when this is going to be 
fixed? Link headers are commonly used in REST services.

The Link header URLs are not being parsed correctly due to this regular 
expression in the "RestClient/src/org/rest/client/util/Utils.java" file:

        public static String autoLinkUrls(String input){
                RegExp r = RegExp.compile("(https?:\\/\\/(\\w|\\.)+(\\S+))","gim");
                return r.replace(input, "<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"$1\">$1</a>");
        }

The following should work:

RegExp r = RegExp.compile("(https?:\\/\\/([^\" >]*))","gim");

This will include everything after http(s):// that is not a " or a space or a >
