websites that end with *w.org

Hi

i am reporting a bug and providing a fix just in case anyone else runs into this issue.

behavior: any link with the web address ending with w.org like (somethinglaw.org, thisishow.org) gets rewritten like this (somethingl.w.org, thisish.w.org)

problem: the problem is line number 80
$buffer = preg_replace(array('|https://(.*?).w.org|','|https://(.*?).w.org|'), '//$1.w.org', $buffer);

the fix: the regular expression should account for the . being treated as a wildcard and so should change to \.

$buffer = preg_replace(array('|https://(.*?)\.w.org|','|https://(.*?)\.w.org|'), '//$1.w.org', $buffer);

here is a good tutorial about the regex special characters https://www.regular-expressions.info/characters.html

here is a good tool to test your regex https://www.functions-online.com/preg_replace.html

my personal opinion: by far this is the best plugin out there that deals with mixed-content.

hope this helps!
