I'm frequently copying and pasting links from the integrated terminal in VSCode that point to internal services and local machines. It would be absolutely killer for me if I could ctrl+click those links to open them in the browser.

The regexes for creating links seem to require a TLD, with the exception of localhost. Is there a reason y'all are specifically restricting things that way? Could we instead allow any string that satisfies the hostname standard?

As an added bonus, this fix would take care of #601 as well. Would be happy to work on this if it sounds reasonable.

Details

• Browser and browser version: VSCode
• OS version: Ubuntu 14.04
• xterm.js version: "Tyriar/xterm.js#vscode-release/1.12"

Steps to reproduce

1. echo "http://myhostname/blah"
2. hover over it
