URL Regex rejects valid urls

[rperce]

The url regex at time of writing is (https?://.*?)/(\w+)$. The last segment is required to be only word characters, which, notably, excludes hyphens and other symbols that are perfectly valid in URLs. In particular, I always generate a UUID for my ntfy topics, which have a dash in them. Swapping out \w for . would do, or if you really want to be precise, the valid characters for a url path, except for slash, are [-a-zA-Z0-9()@:%_\+.~#?&=].
