extract url with parameters that end in close parenthesis

[markevaul]

when extracting this url, the last parenthesis is always dropped:

http://www.alfred.com/Products/RefinedListing.aspx?q=@SKU=(98-40784,98-42565)

Thanks, @KL-7 and I changed paren handling recently because tweets often contain urls inside parens, but this definitely seems like a bug. We'll take a look at the regexes.

For anyone looking at this, can quickly test behavior here: http://twitter.github.io/twitter-text-js/

I have a pull request on twitter-text-js waiting. I took your balanced parens method for the url and applied it to the query parameters as well.

Linking your JS pull request:

Cool, now to port this to ruby, java, and obj-c.
Are you comfortable modifying the regexes in those repos? One of us can do it too.

[markevaul]

I don't have those environments set up, so it's difficult for me to test them locally. You'd probably be able to do it faster.

I'm using a dotnet port that I ported over from the java, but I ended up using all the regexes from javascript because the java regex engine has a bunch of build in named character classes that aren't available in dotnet.

Sounds good, thanks again!
