 It actually happened to me while testing:
 - edit a post
 - Add Media > Insert from URL
 - paste this into the field:
 `ttp://playground.html5rocks.com/samples/html5_misc/chrome_japan.ogv`
 notice the missing `h` at the beginning
 - the AJAX call is fired regardless
 - returns `"success":false,"data":{"type":"not-embeddable" ... `
 - the "Link Text" field appears

 Worth considering introducing a basic form of valid protocol check? Even a
 very simple check would be useful to avoid a useless request and
 especially to avoid the "Link Text" field to appear.
 Also, it would be great to add some error handling and error messages.
