Naive URL extraction algo
1) Starts with http, https? Cool. Take the whole string (assuming it's good after http|https). Stop
2) Contains http, https? Cool. Splice string from index of 'http' ('h' to be more precise) to end of string. Stop.
3) Split on '.'. foldr over the array by trying to split ever element over anything that isnt an alphabet or number. Ignore 1st element of every subsplit if the subsplit returns an array of length greater than 1. After this pass, join whole array using '.'
