Comment (by azaozz):

 Right. In order to not flag all the various
 [http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/uri-schemes.xhtml URI
 schemes], it only checks links that start with `http`. Note that there is
 another small piece of regex in both link dialogs that prepends `http://`
 to URIs that do not look like local.

 On the other hand this can be changed to trigger on anything other than
 `/^(https?|ftp|mailto):|^\//i` as these uncommon schemes are probably used
 very very rarely.
