#2393: URLs with Apostrophes are Improperly Handled

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Either Pidgin and/or IM networks do not properly handle URLs that have an
 apostrophe in them.  On both the Yahoo! and AIM networks, posting the URL
 ''http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23406735-details/'Greedy'+fat+people+shouldn't+be+treated%2C+says+top+doctor/article.do''
 will result in
 (URL)http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23406735-details/(End of
 URL)(Plain
 text)'Greedy'+fat+people+shouldn't+be+treated%2C+says+top+doctor/article.do(End
 of plain text).

 Testing on an AIM account, I discovered the following results:


 1) www.test.com/123/'456' will result in "www.test.com/123/" being
 recognized as a URL, but '456' is not recognized as a URL.


 2) http://www.test.com/123/test3'123' will result in everything up to the
 first apostrophe being recognized as a URL
 (http://www.test.com/123/test3'), but 456' is not recognized as a part of
 the URL.
