Do we want to allow "simple" URLs in unquoted strings? #29

follow-up from #28 (comment):

Currently, one needs to quote the value of a URL filter (e.g. website="https://example.org"). This is because the characters / and . are not allowed in unquoted strings. It would probably be possible to relax the string matching rule to include the caracters / and . to allow filtering for "simple" URLs without the need to quote them (e.g. website=https://example.com). This would be convenient in some cases, but a downside would be that this only covers a subset of all URLs: they can also include other special characters (especially in the path, query or hash parts of the URL), or even unicode characters in the domain part (e.g. https://öbb.at). So, maybe it would be better to require quoting of all URL-like values, to keep the syntax consistent?

What do you think?
