Our checks for valid URL links aren't entirely
accurate, and some valid URLs are rejected. (For
instance, those containing the dollar sign $, which is
reserved but valid in a number of places, including the
query string.)
Rewriting the regexps with a closer eye to the rfc
might be a good thing.
Workaround: rejected characters can be replaced with
their %HH hex code equivalents.
Version: unspecified
