stripPrefix option removes or adds http:// always. about autolinker.js

[gregjacobs]

Hmm, right you are. Any preferences as to how you might like to see the interface for supporting this?

How about a new option like something (I'm not very creative) keepOriginalText which overwrites the state of stripPrefix if true ? :)

👍 it's often best to be able to not change the original text that's displayed

+1 I think this is really important to keep the original text, especially if you want to create links while the user is typing. I think it should keepOriginalText by default.

I had a dig around to fix it but I broke some of the tests :(

+1 I am new Autolinker.js and I was searching for exactly the same option!

👍 Also looking for something like this. keepOriginalText seems like would do the job. But I am not so sure about making it true by default, since that might break backward compatibility.

Hey all. Long awaited, I know.. Decided to just keep the original matched text by default. Fixed in v0.21.0
