Links with parentheses are broken

See original GitHub issue
  • _The Lounge version: 4.2.0

When linking a url with parentheses in it (and possibly other characters) the link is presumed ended before the closing parentheses.

Example https://foo.com/bar.(par) results in a link to https://foo.com/bar.(par The period in the example is nescessary otherwise it works correctly.

Fileshare links that have the filenames in them and spaces replaced by dots for example. Searched for “Index of” in google, and found some. Note that I have nothing to do with the link or it’s content, just randomly found it on google. http://index-of.es/Android/Professional.Android.2.Application.Development.(Wrox,.2010,.0470565527).pdf
