auto_link does not recognise localhost:3000 links

[wakiki]

Hi, in Rails we often use addresses with localhost:3000 in development. Rinku doesn't seem to recognise these as links.

eg. http://localhost:3000/xyz

Can this be included so it turns them into links too?

Thanks

This is important to me, too.

Thank you Kilian

Hi, +1 from me too.

http://localhost:3000/users/1 doesn't autolink, which is frustrating during development.

[ndbroadbent]

Great, it looks like the latest code on the master branch supports autolinking these domains by setting Rinku.short_domains = true after you call require 'rails_rinku'.

Please note, though, that http://localhost:3000/users/1 is autolinked when using the rails_autolink gem, so you'll need to fix it if you still want to claim "mimics 100% the original one".

Also won't catch "github.com", but it does work for "http://github.com" and "www.github.com"

Rinku.short_domains doesn't exist anymore... So how is this done nowadays?

[kivikakk]

Rinku.short_domains is now a flag which can be passed to Rinku.auto_link:

>> Rinku.auto_link('http://localhost:3000/a', nil, nil, nil, Rinku::AUTOLINK_SHORT_DOMAINS)
=> "<a href=\"http://localhost:3000/a\">http://localhost:3000/a</a>"

Not catching "github.com" without a preceding http:// or www. is intentional.
