Here is a patch that should solve the problem. The regexp come from Rails with some modifications.

Thanks for the patch.
But it would be nice to fix RedCloth#inline_textile_link as well.

This patch doesn't work well with links inside parenthesis. Eg. (http://www.foo.bar/Test_foobar).
Trailing parenthesis is included in the url.

This is not an easy problem. Should we consider that parenthesis inside url should alway be balanced ? I don't think we should.
Then should we treat the particular case of a url with a preceding ( and a trailing ) ?

here is a naive patch for the later.

   def inline_auto_link(text)
        text.gsub!(AUTO_LINK_RE) do
          all, a, b, c, d = $&, $1, $2, $3, $4
          if a =~ /<a\s/i || a =~ /![<>=]?/
          else
################## PATCH BELOW
            if ( a[-1] == ?( and c[-1]==?) ) # looks like url is put inside parenthesis
              c=c[0..-2]
              d=")"+d
            end
################## PATCH ABOVE
            text = b + c
            %(#{a}<a class="external" href="#{b=="www."?"http://www.":b}#{c}">#{text}</a>#{d})
          end
        end
      end

What's the policy for this kind of "bundled-librairy" related problem ? Should we patch against bundled files ? Should we try to monkey-patch from outside ?

I don't know which is the best solution but I'd really like that something like this works: (see: http://example.net).
I think we see this more often than a link with a single closing parenthesis at the end.
WDYT ?

Yes, you can.
redcloth.rb is already patched: http://www.redmine.org/repositories/changes/redmine/trunk/lib/redcloth.rb

For sure I'd like this as well, but we first have to formulate clearly what we want. For the moment, it's like :

 "If the url ends a sentence in parenthesis, don't include the closing parenthesis in the URL" 

That would involve matching the whole sentence, before url to see if it starts with '(' and after to see if there isn't an other closing ')' later, like in "(see: http://fr.example.net/wiki/clavier_(musique) to read more)". I think we will have hard time doing so :/

Maybe we can do that :

  "If the url last char is closing ')' that is unbalanced in the url itself, take the ')' as external to the url

This seems doable, does not require to scan far around the url itself, and should handle :

WDYT ?

This is fine for me.

so please find attached patch against current trunk. It's fairly minor, and does not change the (already fairly complex) regexp for url except concerning the parenthesis. Tests included.

Paul, I didn't see your new patch, sorry.
Anyway, everything looks fine and it's now committed in r1871.

Thanks !
