    You joke, but that's very straightforward to me.

    https, or nothing

    ://

    www., or nothing

    1-256 of these chars: [-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._+~#=]

    Until you get to a "." followed by:

    1-6 of these chars:[a-zA-Z0-9()]

    Any line break

    0+ of these chars: [-a-zA-Z0-9()@:%_+.~#?&//=]

      I mean, yeah it's really not too bad when you really dig into it. But it's still just a mess.

      Although your "https, or nothing" is actually "http, optionally s"

      That one isn't even completely right. It gets a lot of false positives AFAIK (example: https://..com). The real thing is even worse.
