The answer to your question is that http://www is decoded to http:/www (part
of the normalization routines include condensing multiple ////'s into a
single /.)

So, pcre:"/http\:\/\/www/U" doesn't match, but both pcre:"/http\:\/\/www/"
and pcre:"/http\:\/www/U" do.

Doh! For some reason I wasn't expecting it to eat a slash :)
This explains it nicely.

Thanks a bunch Joe!
