While Tad's solution gives you that, it isn't going to be a solution
to your problem. The example text you showed can have URLs broken
without them following a space:

Here is another
URL: http://test.
com/hello?test=op
tion1&test2=optio
n2&test3=option3.
Thanks for reading.

Looking for ( |\n) following a full stop also won't work, as the first
full stop in that URL would signify the end of the URL. I can't really
think of a RE that would work in the generic case. You'd probably have
to build something that also validates that the URL is valid to get
closer.
