If you notice, there is no "*" or "+" after that section, it is there
to ensure that a following punctuation sign isn't considered part of
the URL. This way, sentences like
See http://www.dict.com, everything is there.
Did you found it on http://www.google.com?
I can't connect to http://slashdot.org.
will do "the right thing".
Now lets's see if it does ;-)
