Look at the final comment on this question.

What happened to it? I simply typed:

[this](http://web.archive.org/web/19990117032727/http://www.google.com/) 

...and it leaves a funny string after it:

 google.com" rel="nofollow"> 

Plus the link doesn't work!

You need to encode the colon in the second http:// ; this is fairly typical for "urls that contain http://"

We handle this in the post body but comments are lighter.

Edit: This has been fixed a while ago to also work in comments.
