Can you make the ticket reference a link?

Is it expected that a full URI will be used, including protocol? Your 
early examples are http://path/to/somewhere and later you just use 
/path/to/somewhere. Will protocol be allowed? I ask because it can be 
problematic because users would have to consider and remember http vs 
https, for example.

What happens if ftp, for example, added HBAC support and wanted to 
utilize this but wanted different access control by protocol?

I think case sensitivity might be pretty important too, though might be 
best left as an exercise for the user.

I'm not sure what you mean by the CLI section. It seems like you are 
just adding in a uri option so I'd be explicit. Showing possible usage 
would be handy too.

What kind of regex validation can be done, if any?
