MC-8437URL parser does not detect 4 letter TLDs
The URL parsing in chat dislikes Top Level Domains with more than 3 characters (eg a .com works fine, but a .info does not), and does not permit clicking on the link in game to take the user to a web address.
The problem is easily reproduced, after trying the domains in the chat box:
jameo.com and other variations (eg prepending http://) functions correctly.
jameo.info and other variations do not.
Environment
Windows, Java 7 x64

Bug confirmed, found and busted. Erm, fixed.
Bug
Fix
Fix tested on 1.4.7
(Edit: minor technical detail: It does allow clicking the text in any case, it just won't recognize it as an URL without that small change, and thus will not react any further.)
Confirmed.

Not every TLD will catched by this RegEx. You should avoid "TLD can be only 2-4 characters long" type of thinking.
... there are as many regex as there are URLs : http://regexlib.com/%28X%281%29A%28w_EUcf1Bu6N3WFkuVKjGepFvJE2idKTn6XdSnjWUuNtd1un_Eb4FoDkOVAR8SRiMGGBF5Tbw1UonIHucQzOcdTgoYTvkxhpmUooMy90R-WvvA2aGvfMrruwlVe85XxuakVN09q6CjmodpNV4bx0z13Hec3uqWgCLn6W8bpOnukXFFUETJvMR0rkxKy7Z6EVW0%29%29/Search.aspx?k=URL&c=-1&m=-1&ps=100
